Why publicize anything Alan Dershowitz says? He was born to a Frum family and became a Mechalel Shabbos. You’re giving him what he wants: Fame.

who cares if Tsarnaev wants it , the death penalty will give peace of mind to the family’s of the victim’s .
Al is an admitted Shone Upirash! Please don’t mention this Rasha’s name!
So? Let him become a martyr! Being afraid of “making him a martyr” (whatever that means) is no reason to water down justice.
why would we pay to keep him alive?
