The rejection of the defense's proposal to move the trial just seemed petty to me. As we both agree, there's enough evidence to find him guilty in just about any US court of law, so why MUST it have been in Boston, the one place where he would be most likely to face a Kangaroo court? No offense to the people of Massachusetts, I just think you're human beings.

    If people who kill a single cop get the death penalty, if people who rape and murder a single person get the death penalty, I think someone who murdered multiple people, injured hundreds more, emotionally traumatized a city, and instilled fear in the entire country should probably get the death penalty.

I don't think anyone should get the death penalty, but that's a story for another comment another day, likely.
