Now this is how you do it

From the New York Times:
Mumbai Gunman Sentenced to Death
The lone surviving gunman from a 2008 terrorist attack on Mumbai that killed more than 160 people was sentenced Thursday to death by hanging.

A judge ruled that the crimes of Ajmal Kasab, the convicted Pakistani man who was one of 10 attackers, were so reprehensible that �the court has no option except going with the death penalty.�

Mr. Kasab, 22, who looked ill and spent most of the hearing with his head lowered and his right hand covering his face, cried a little but did not say anything after the sentence was read. When asked if he would like to say anything before the sentence was read, Mr. Kasab shook his head and flicked his hand downward.

The terrorists, who arrived in Mumbai by boat on Nov. 26, 2008, spent three days attacking a train station, two hotels, a Jewish center and a popular bar. Mr. Kasab and one accomplice were responsible for about 60 deaths, most of them at the city�s busiest train station, where pictures and video showed him shooting indiscriminately at passengers in a waiting area.
