Justice Has Been Served!!!

    For the families of Krystle Campbell, Martin Richard, Lingzi Lu, and Sean Collier justice was served today. The jury reached a verdict and found Dzhokhar Tsarnaev guilty on all 30 counts of charges against him for his role in the bombing at the Boston Marathon, Arpil 15th 2013. A new trial will begin in which the jury will determine the fate of Tsarnaev. Give him life in prison or give him the death penalty.
    It's hard to believe that it is coming up on two years since the fatal bombing. I can still remember it as if it was yesterday. I was at work when I heard the news. I immediately started to think of all the people there that I knew. I was praying they were all okay. Luckily none of them were injured. After work that day I was glued to the television watching the aftermath. It was like something out of a movie. I remember being sad, and angry. Why would someone do this? What did they have to gain by injuring all those people. I still get angry thinking about it, but then I remember the way the country came together and United as one. It wasn't about being a runner, it was about being a human and wanting justice for the people who were injured or lost their life.
     Today's verdict wasn't reallly a surprise. You kind of knew they were going to find him guilty. I mean the evidence was stacked against him. The next trial will be an interesting one though. Life or death? This is where it is going to get interesting. Capital punishment is an issue where everyone seems to have their own opinion. I will be honest I don't know where I stand on this one, not capital punishment in general just in this case. Part of me says an eye for eye. Here is a person that took 4 lives and injured hundreds. My instinct says why should he get to live and waste air when their were people more deserving that lost their life to soon. Then I go to the other end of the spectrum and I think let him live and suffer daily knowing he will spend the rest of his life in a small cell and will probably never see the light of day again.  It's a hard one to decide. I wonder what the families of the victims want. Nothing can be done to bring back your loved one, but maybe one of the punishments will give you peace of mind and bring more of a closure to this.  I can't even begin to imagine what they are and have been going through.  Well no matter what the decision is to come I know I am like the majority who is happy to see justice being served.
