ONLY DEATH FOR DZHO

If Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 21, is sentenced to life in prison rather than death, he could one day walk free, reader Jay Taikeff of Brooklyn reminded me.

Free, like the Libyan intelligence officer who was convicted in the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. The terrorist was convicted of murdering 270 people in the plane and on the ground and sentenced to life in prison in 2001. But in 2009, Scottish authorities sent him home after he developed prostate cancer. Hewas hailed as a Libyan hero until his death in 2012.

For murdering three people at the 2013 Boston Marathon, wounding 264 others and taking a campus cop’s life, Tsarnaev should die.
