The yanks can. Well, some of them anyway I don't know about massachusetts.

Massachusetts does not have the death penalty.....

Well, if they get the people who did it, a lot will depend on who ends up prosecuting. If the commonwealth of Mass get to do it then they won't be able to kill them. If the Feds take over then they still have the death penalty. Sentences in the Federal Courts tend to be longer and harsher, and I'm sure the Feds will want to take over and will be looking for a law which lets them.
 
I can't remember the Americans topping any terrorists. I'm not saying they haven't but I can't remember any.
Perhaps they don't want to create martyrs, which would be ironic given how many they are creating abroad.
 
Yes but that was the Feds.

He bombed a Federal building/workers so the Feds took jurisdiction. Seem to remember he was the first guy the Feds killed in some time.

His sidekick now lives in a supermax. Probably rather be dead.
 
Like 9/11, I am waiting for the conspiracy theorists to get to work.
 
Not murder; execution.

What do you call it when they execute an innocent man?

A travesty. Fortunately, these days scientific advances have made this impossible. If there isn't absolute and indisputable evidence of guilt, a sentence of execution would be reduced to hard labour.

Well done for avoiding offensive language again, btw.
