He admitted his guilt. He explained that he set off the bombs to “defend Islam.” There is an abundance of evidence tying him to the crime. This is simply an attempt to tie up the Infidel’s resources in useless court proceedings — weakening him and rendering him less capable to stop other jihad plots.
“Lawyers for Boston Marathon bomber argue for new trial,” by Scott Malone, Reuters, December 1, 2015:
Lawyers for Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev asked a judge on Tuesday to hold a new trial for their client, citing a Supreme Court decision that a U.S. law stiffening sentences for crimes committed while in possession of a gun was overly broad.
Tsarnaev was sentenced to death by lethal injection on June 24 in the 2013 bomb attack, which killed three people and injured more than 260.
Defense attorneys on Tuesday argued that Tsarnaev’s conviction and sentence were tainted by the law, which affected half of the 30 criminal counts he faced.
The high court found the law overly broad in a hearing on an unrelated case two days after Tsarnaev was sentenced.
“It’s really impossible to unpack what weight that (ruling) might have had on the jury’s deliberations, in their weighing of aggravating and mitigating factors,” defense attorney William Fick said. “It requires a redo of the entire sentencing proceeding.”
Federal prosecutors questioned the relevance of the argument, given the magnitude of the attack. Tsarnaev’s attorneys admitted on the first day of the trial that he played a role in the bombing, and the 22-year-old apologized before sentencing.
“There is absolutely no reason to believe … the result would have been any different,” had the charges had no reference that Tsarnaev and his older brother were in possession of a handgun during the attack, said Assistant U.S. Attorney William Weinreb….

William Fick? Fick? hahaha, I hope the appeals court judges speak German and think that he is trying a Dummfick on them.
replace the ‘i’ with a ‘u’ and you have the German meaning of Fick…
Tuscany says
they should take him off death row and put him in general population.. death row is the only thing protecting him
Andrew H. says
Exactly! Let the prison population take care of him.
Dr. Divinity says
Maybe the military ought to try.then smartly execute him using a firing squad.
To my understanding terrorism is an act of war agonist the U.S. so why not use a military court.At least our military could get to kill a few terrorist…SEEMS like they are not getting much of a chance to do that in the mid east…..Between collateral damage and. R O E they haven’t mind chi chance.
Dr. Divinity says
Much of a chance
Ernie says
Not longing for his 72 virgins anymore ? Trembling in the face of death ? He is a despicable COWARD ! But we knew that already because of his cowardly killing , wounding and maiming of many innocent people . Execution must be swift . No delays !
Ernie says
Burn his remains , mix his remains with thinly sliced bacon , pack it in a pressure cooking device and send it to his mother .
el cid says
Enie, I share your anger, but you are missing Robert’s point.
This legal action is part of a strategy to destroy America by making it expensive to deal with terrorists. He can’t “win”, but we all lose.
In my opinion, this is why Obama initialed wanted to close Guantanamo. You may remember that he was pushing to get these guys into civilian courts where they would tie up resources forever. Whatever the ‘real’ motive, this is right out of the playbook of the Muslim Brotherhood. I believe it failed because no jurisdiction would allow the cases. (There is some smart in America!)
Ernie says
Thank you El Cid for pointing this out to me . I got Robert’s point El Cid .(Ab)using the existing legal system to “financially drain” the “enemy” certainly works , it’s a way of Jihad . Maybe the law should be modified ; something as : ( jihadi)terrorists are WARRIORS . After extracting as much information out of them as possible , and if found guilty , swift justice must be done . No dragging on . Appeal after appeal or someting like that . It’s not only expensive : it doesn’t serve JUSTICE ( and that’s my point ). Tsarnaev admitted his guilt , plus there is more than enough proof of his guilt . Hence : no reasons for appeal , a new trial or any stalling of justice . Immediate execution is the only justified outcome . He (Tsarnaev) should not see another day . ( and it is not as costly ) . Have a nice day El Cid , and you chose a very beautiful name !
David says
This is incomprehensible! Why hasn’t the murderer been strapped into “old sparky” by now? Wine, whimper and complain! Enough already! He is a TERRORIST and a MURDERER! Send him straight to HELL!
bernie says
In Russia, they’d bury him in pig skin after execution, like they did with the Beslan jihadist school killers. He’s lucky that the U.S. is too humane to throw him in with the general prison population, though if there’s a prison riot and the other inmates forcibly get access to his cell, he’s outta ruck.
Joseph says
Give him a trial the old fashioned way. Tie his hands a feet and throw him in the water. If he floats he is a terrorist and hang him, if he drowns, then he was only a murderer.
Muslims love archaic laws and punishments…we should accommodate them.

“He admitted his guilt. He explained that he set off the bombs to “defend Islam'”
I am convinced that Muslims have a mental disorder and brain damage. How does one logically “defend Islam” by pissing off the people who want nothing more than to get along and live peacefully?
Don McKellar says
How big of a line-up is there for a lethal injection table? Why hasn’t this happened yet? Isn’t there any way for this to be expedited? The fact that this moslem piece of shit is still alive shows a massive flaw in the system. He has been found guilty beyond any reasonable doubt and even admitted his guilt. He should have been dead within one month of that. Those who have delayed this now need to be held to account — they are costing the taxpayer money even housing and feeding him is too expensive at this point.
voytech says
Bless your heart for commonsense sir . You speak the truth
Jay Boo says
The article says “Tsarnaev was sentenced to death by lethal injection on June 24”
——————————
I suspect that it will be delayed further than that by legal appeals ad mumbo jumbo.
Don McKellar says
I half expect him to still be alive by the time Obama slinks out of office and Obama will give him a pardon.
Jay Boo says
My guess is two and a half more years.
I doubt that Obama has enough credibility left to pull off a pardon without bringing severe “consequences” to himself.
voytech says
Hang this POS already and high . Waist of money . I will do it personally to save money for the government and for the innocent people that got killed and hurt. Just need a tree and a extention cord asap
Angemon says
Huh, so what about it? He was not sentenced to death because of being in possession of a handgun, he was sentenced to death for placing a bomb that killed people.
Jay Boo says
Good point
The lawyers for Boston Marathon bomber are trying to pull a ‘Three Card Monty’ style distraction.
mortimer says
The crime is one of the most shocking ones imaginable…a planned, sneak attack on unarmed civilians at a charity event!
The death sentence will be returned in any redress trial. The defense must know they won’t get anywhere but they will get paid for it. When it’s over, they’ll chase an ambulance.
Linde Barrera says
To mortimer- Hi mortimer. Good to read your posts. I personally believe (I have no proofs) that this new appeal for a new trial based on the Joker’s lawyers’ interpretations is a test case. I believe it is to see how far they can go with getting a terrorist off the hook as much as possible. Remember, every attorney dreams of setting a precedent. This one is about THAT. I am also believing some Islamic defense group is behind this or encouraging it, much like a Mafia boss’ lawyer would be defending his client because “they are all in it together.”
Sam says
Lawyers just keep on billing the public for the defense of killers of innocent Americans with no mercy. This is so wrong it is disgusting. Recently we are going out of our way to protect and enable our sworn enemies. Namely members of the religion of peace, Muslims.
I say if we are so suicidal, we deserve Islam.
Georg says
I wanna be a millionaire.
RC says
This Muslim dog–should have been executed long ago!
f c king says
He admitted the murders, so no new trial. He needs to be doing hard labor on a rock pile until he is executed.
Gary says
Trial by fire or Smith & Wesson?
Andrew H. says
It would be so easy for police in such cases to use one more bullet to finish off the culprit and save taxpayers fortunes in costs.
