This is really unprecedented in the history of the federal death penalty for a judge to wait such an extraordinarily long time before holding the sentencing hearing.

Judge Sessions must by law impose the death penalty now that the jury has recommended it except in a very narrow circumstance where he finds there was some misconduct on the part of the prosecution... extremely, extremely unlikely in this case.

I'm actually really opposed to the death penalty.

The death penalty is discriminatory and does not do anything about crime.

The death penalty is becoming a way of life in this country.

I don't believe in the death penalty, but I understand personal vengeance.
