Facing death: Jurors have decided whether or not Dzhokhar Tsarnaev should be killed

The jury deliberating the fate of Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has reached a verdict.

The jury - seven women and five men - reached their a decision Friday after 14 hours of deliberations.

Tsarnaev was convicted last month of all 30 federal charges against him, 17 of which carried the possibility of the death penalty.

It has been down to the jury to decide whether or not to enact capital punishment.

Families of bombing victims and emergency service personnel who helped deal with the aftermath of the terror attack packed the courtroom to hear the verdict.

When Tsarnaev entered he was said to appear emotionless - even relaxed - much like at every other phase of the trial.

Tsarnaev killed a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer days later.

The defense sought to save Tsarnaev's life by pinning most of the blame on his radicalized older brother.

Prosecutors portrayed Tsarnaev as an equal partner in the attack and so heartless he placed a bomb behind children, killing an 8-year-old boy.

During the trial, the jury saw gruesome, sometimes graphic videos of the explosions and their bloody aftermath, and heard from some of the 18 people who lost limbs in the bombing, as well as friends and family of the four people killed by the Tsarnaevs.

Eight-year-old Martin Richard, 23-year-old Chinese exchange student Lingzi Lu and 29-year-old restaurant managed Krystle Campbell died in the bombing.

All his fault? Tsarnaev's defense have argued that his older brother, Tamerlan, radicalized him and should bear most of the responsibility for the deadly terror attacks in 2013

Death. He got death.

Unfortunately, sweet little Dzhokhar ran over his brother remorselessly a couple times in that stolen SUV and killed him too.

"He who sheds man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed." This is not a commandment given to the Hebrews on Mt. Sinai. It was given to Noah and all 8 of surviving mankind on Mt. Ararat, after the Flood.

In cases where there is no doubt whatever as to guilt, and this is exactly such a case, death is the appropriate penalty.

Now, if the killer showed some sort of remorse...he would still deserve to die in a case like this. In other cases with different facts, maybe some mercy could be found. Here, though, there isn't any countervailing consideration. This wasn't some abused person lashing out at a tormentor. Nor was this a mercy killing.

He's guilty, he deserves death, and he should be delivered up for death once his appeals have been exhausted. If he finds Christ between now and then and repents and seeks forgiveness, perhaps we forgive him. But if he remains a stone-cold Muslim fanatic who feels justified in his actions, then he should be sent to see his Allah as-is. He'll be surprised when he discovers that Allah is Jesus' Father, and that Allah has given all judgment to Jesus.

But didn't the Kooks tell us that the bombing was a red flag..er...pirate flag...false flag?
