No, you're wrong. He'll most probably be handed a death sentence. But then, you and me, as taxpayers, will now provide food, housing and healthcare to this "alleged shooter" for some 10 or 20 years:
- while some lawyers argue whether sufficient evidence links him to the shooting
- whether he was in a sane mind at the time of shooting
- whether executing him will constitute a discrimination against his religion or ethnic group
- whether lethal injection is too painful that would constitute cruel and unusual punishment (as if all those sentenced to death cared about their victims' sufferings!)
- whether he is physically fit to be executed (you know, being obese could make it painful!)
By then, he either dies of natural causes or you have Islamic president who grants him clemency.
