From what I heard he is going to be in solitary for the rest of his life. For an attention-whore like him, no contact with people will be like a slow hell. If he was simply shot, he would become a martyr. Locking him away and effectively making him disappear neutralizes him and the effect he would have. He becomes a non-entity.

I see your point, but it costs too much $$$$.
Since we are keeping him alive…Televised torture every time there is a terror attack might be good too?

Damn I’m barbaric…bring back the gallows![/quote]
You know what can be done about the cost? Give it about 6 months to a year, when everyone has forgotten about him, then have him meet with an “accident”. Happens all the time in prison. Pay off some murderous triple-life sentence psycho in the prison with cigarrettes to off him. Cost gone.

This is probably what will happen…I hope it’s a long shank with days of torture.
Our system is designed to be biased against the prosecution in criminal matters – and particularly in death penalty matters.
To an extent, that’s necessary because of the power of the government vs. the power of an accused person.
On the other hand, w/r/t the death penalty in particular, the protections built in to the system have essentially evisercated some of the benefits of having it at all, most notably much, if not all, of its deterrent effect. Even if he had been given a death sentence, he could have sat on death row for 30 or more years.

Also, it was reported that in weighing the ‘mitigating factors’, the jury considered that Moussaoui had endured some racism and had a mean father.

Too bad he doesn’t get sent to Attica via Rikers Island. I’m sure, solitary or not ,he wouldn’t last long in a NY prison.
I doubt killing some one would be more expensive if it were to happen in a timely fashion. I think it is better he goes to prison. And he has to deal with the general population. I think he would rather be dead.

I am inclined to believe that life in prison is a much worse punishment than death. Especially for a martyr-seeking ass like this.

He’s going to a supermax. Yea, it’s expensive, but it is as under the jail as one can get. 23 hours of isolation and 1 hour of recreation, supervised by guards. He’ll go nuts in there. Yea, I’d rather he go to the supermax. With the death penaly he’ll have a final word, in a supermax, he’ll just die quietly. Before that he’ll have many, many years of quiet time to think about what an asshole he is.
