[quote]A man who eluded capture in the forests of Pennsylvania for seven weeks after fatally shooting a police officer in 2014 has been sentenced to death.
Eric Frein killed the officer outside a police barracks and wounded another.
He was found guilty last week of murder and terrorism. On Wednesday the jury deliberated for five hours before returning a death sentence.
Prosecutors said Frein killed Cpl Bryon Dickson because he wanted to start an uprising against the government.
After committing the crime, Frein went on the run and was only captured after a lengthy manhunt - much of it in dense forestry in Pennsylvania's Poconos mountains - before officers found him hiding in an abandoned plane hangar.[/quote]

Swift Justice, but how long will he be on death-row (indefinitely?)?
Is this the airsofter that someone on FP knew?

Apparently Pennsylvania has only executed three people in four decades, so probably not. On the other hand it's a highly publicised case.
[b]Edit:[/b]
Looking it up, apparently PA only executed those three people because they waived their appeals process and asked to get it over with.
Important takeaway from this

Local media say that although the condemned man faces a grim existence on death row, [B]it is unlikely he will ever be executed.[/B]
That is because there is a moratorium on the death penalty in Pennsylvania, which has only executed three people since 1976.[/quote]

most uprisings against governments start because of cops killing people, not people killing cops

Oh god I totally forgot about this guy. I remember the 4chan threads making fun of him with names like the "Diaper Sniper."
Police tracked him through the woods and kept finding shit filled diapers on his trail. Fucking bizarre.
