I have a question about the legal proceedings involving the death penalty: Massachusetts has no death penalty. Is there a federal crime here that could be punished in this way? (Not saying the guy did it, or if he deserves it, just asking about the legal implications about what happened)

. . .religion and science can quite happily coexist, so long as both sides admit there are things we are yet to understand. I'm Catholic, and I want to see this guy out of prison.

Watch out for the Na'vi!
