What is your opinion of prosecutors refusing a plea deal in the trial of the Boston bomber?

Asked by chyna (51308points) January 6th, 2015 from iPhone

Accused Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s attorneys are trying to get a plea agreement of guilty with a life sentence with no chance of parole. The justice department is resisting because they want the death penalty.

To me, this is just plain ridiculous and a total waste of taxpayer money. The trial is scheduled to last 4 months. It will probably cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Do you see the point in this?
