As you all know on April 15, 2013 the world famous Boston marathon was attacked by terrorists. Bombs were set off at the finish line of the race. The two men who did this horrible act of terror in Boston were chased, and eventually found by Boston police and SWAT teams. The older of the two men was killed in a shootout, yet the younger escaped. He was lated found and brought into prison.
The trial has been going on for over a year now and the Jury has finally reached a verdict today. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was brought to justice which was very necessary. The jury is now trying to decide whether to give him life in prison or give him the death penalty. Personally, I believe that he should have to face life in prison.
I am from New Hampshire, but it is only a 40 minute drive into the city of Boston. I go to Boston very frequently, it is my favorite city. To me, Boston is a place that I can almost call home. I have been to the marathon before and it was absolutely tragic to see this happen on live tv. My cousin lives in Boston and was at the marathon about 15 minutes before the bombs went off, I am very grateful that she and her fiancé were not harmed.
In conclusion, I believe that he should receive life in prison because it means he has to sit there every single day. I do not necessarily believe in the death penalty, because I think they should have to sit in prison for the rest of their life. I hope the jury made the right decision.
