Please explain how that make it more likely for him to get the death penalty.
Is this serious?

Murderers are executed across the country all the time.
Not really compared to the amount of convictions. I just don't think this guy will get DP just with a murder charge. Again though, why not?

He said he did it due to Islamic beliefs and learned from watching ISIS videos
but he wasn't told to perform the act, by an ISIS member, which means, he did it on his own terms, and not under the direction, of a terrorist group.

Timothy McVeigh wasn't convicted of terrorism. But he was convicted of 8 counts of first degree murder.

Thanks for the one example that refutes what I said.

Feel free to keep dodging the original question though. Again, why not?
please don't answer with another question.

(5) the term “domestic terrorism” means activities that—
[b](A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State;
(B) appear to be intended—
(i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
(ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or
(iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and
(C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States

You could be right, explain it to me
They've obviously looked at the evidence and figured that they're more likely to get a conviction with a murder charge. They'll probably go after the death penalty.
Would people seriously be upset if the US put this dude to death for murder just because they didn't label it terrorism?

what is your point?

Was Dzhokhar Tsarnaev charged with terror even?

Timothy McVeigh wasn't convicted of terrorism
