I wonder if we'll ever see a Tsarnaev trial. I've been thinking no. This piece speculates on that possibility too: http://www.popehat.com/2013/04/22/thoughts-on-the-tsarneav-complaint/ …
@caidid My money bets against a trial, too. That assumes, of course, his lawyers can secure a plea deal w/o execution. But still my guess.

@emptywheel@caidid The odds are better than even money you will never see a trial. It would almost be malpractice to try this case in court -
@AllThingsHLS
@emptywheel@caidid Dropping death penalty IS the deal, period. That said, if govt refuses to cut that plea you HAVE to try it -
@bmaz@emptywheel@caidid I think the USAO Boston can make a no DP deal, but I don't think the State of Mass will. -
@AllThingsHLS
@bmaz@emptywheel The state doesn't even have the death penalty. -
@caidid @AllThingsHLS@emptywheel Exactly. -
@bmaz @AllThingsHLS@emptywheel The only deal is feds take DP off the table, life w/o parole.
