A Verdict in Boston — #Tsarnaev

At the Wall Street Journal, "In sentencing Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, remember the Richards family":

As terrorist attacks go, the Boston Marathon bombing was not especially major: In scale, it barely compares to last week’s massacre of Christians at a university in Kenya or December’s school massacre in Peshawar. But that’s all the more reason to take terrorism more seriously than we often do today. We remain a nation living under the shadow of a threat that even the Marathon bombings, with all their carnage, only faintly made visible.

We hope the Boston jurors bear that in mind as they deliberate on a sentence that will be a statement of justice—and of resolve.

Death penalty or no death penalty? That is the question. The editors don't say, but is there anyone more worthy? I'm not the biggest fan of capital punishment, but this guy Tsarnaev's a poster boy if there ever was one.
