#10  Didn't even contest his guilt

One of the appeals will be for inadequate representation since the original lawyers didn't even contest his guilt.

#7  Hard to see him getting a do-over. But breath-holding not advised. I'd expect him to sit on death row for a decade while defense lawyers wank over whether it is mean to kill someone who deliberately tried to kill and maim a whole bunch of people. Personally, justice delayed is justice denied.

The Globe just can't help it.

#5  I'm interested to see if the feds can get the necessary lethal injection drugs that the states are having trouble getting. It's be amusing if a bullet, a rope or a vintage electric chair set to "slow roast" were the only viable (is that ironic usage?) options...

#4  Take him out back behind the courthouse and shoot him in the back of the head. Bill the family for the ammo and cleanup.

#2  It's a Federal death sentence. Not up to 12 jurors from Massabluesetts any more. Appeals will be heard by Federal court judges unless the conviction is vacated and a do-over goes down.
