3. I really hope he does avoid the death penalty.

My best friend crossed the finish line a minute before the bombs went off. His wife and two young sons were in between the explosions; I found out what was happening when she texted "wtf bombs" to me, before she ran with her kids and hid in a storefront. My friend Mike was right there, and saw the blood and body parts on the sidewalk. Krystle Campbell, who probably served me a hundred Jameson shots over the years with a smile and a joke at the Summer Shack on Dalton Street, died on a dirty sidewalk that day.

I'm annoyed as hell that the prosecution is fighting against having this trial moved to another venue out of state; keeping it in Boston strikes me as being automatic grounds for an appeal based on a biased jury. I want this little prick to get the fairest trial in the history of jurisprudence, and then spend the rest of his long life picking mealworms out of his gruel in a very small, very grim, very inescapable metal room.

Death is an out, an escape. Life is harder, especially in a box, and life is what he deserves. Life...and nothing else besides.
