Death Penalty For the Boston Bomber

As a criminal defense attorney it may seem strange to see someone admit to their support for the death penalty.  But I am a fervent supporter of capital punishment when it is warranted.  This case... it was more than warranted.  The act of cowardly terrorism that this low-life committed against the victims and our country required, yes required, the death penalty.  The death penalty should always be an option, because some offenses are so depraved, and so vicious, that the only appropriate punishment for the criminal is for them to be executed.  Sure, undoubtedly innocent people have been executed, and we must be very cautious about when the ultimate penalty is handed down.  However, in cases where there is no doubt as to the guilt of the person, and the crime is so horrible; the death penalty should be an easy choice.  Make no mistake, this terrorist deserves what is coming to him.
