I haven't seen any news reports about anyone condeming the shooting of the three pirates, and I'm not looking for any. Fringe groups carry little weight as there will always be someone somewhere who will oppose or support whatever the current happenstance is.
The defense is grasping at straws here. The "truce" argument is all but dead and the "age" argument has been shot down by the Judge. I think the end result will be a Federal mandatory life sentence for the pirate.
Does a Federal "life sentence" come with the possibility of parole or is it really life?

He had in fact become the person his mother had warned him about!
