Seeking death penalty in Boston case? A long road

‘‘There’s going to be a lot of push in that U.S. attorney’s office in Boston to seek the death penalty in this case,’’ predicts former prosecutor Johnny Sutton, who chaired a panel of 17 U.S. attorneys advising the attorney general on law enforcement issues during the George W. Bush administration. Sutton was U.S. attorney for the Western District of Texas from 2001 to 2009.
