As much as many (including me) would like to see this guy fry in the electric chair, it is a good thing that New York State does not have the death penalty.  He would look forward to martyrdom and the 72 virgins he'd expect, and of course ISIS would get even more publicity from his martyrdom.

As much as it pains me to think of the expense of supporting a life-without-parole sentence, it's the best of the alternatives.  Maybe they'll have to keep him in solitary (protective custody) to keep him away from the general population....but hopefully not right away.
