Moussaoui and martyrdom

Zacarias Moussaoui’s lawyer pleaded with jurors Monday to send his client to prison for life "the long slow death of a common criminal" rather than give the terrorist conspirator the martyrdom he seeks through execution

The prosecution argued that death does not mean martyrdom, Moussaoui’s wishes don’t matter and the only person charged in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks should be executed because "there is no place on this good Earth" for him.

Moussaoui asked for death.  Now, you gotta understand, this guy is borderline retarded.  If someone commits suicide, how is that in relation to martyrdom?  If the state grants Moussaoui  his wish of death, they are merely assisting him in his desire to die.  They are not killing him, he has already done that.  I vote to finish the job.  There’s no way this is an issue of martyrdom.
