Dzokhar Tsarnaev has been sentenced to death. And maybe, in 20 or 25 years, or 50 if we're still executing people by then, he might get the needle. Or the rope. Or face a firing squad. Or get vaporized by an antimatter beam. Or whatever contemporary fashion dictates.

Assuming capital punishment hasn't been banned outright. Again.

My biggest complaint about the current practice of capital punishment in the US is that the process is entirely too inefficient and too long. The appeal process should be expedited -- and limited -- so that it ends in a reasonable amount of time.
