I'm generally against capital punishment because it is for the most part ineffective as a deterrent, but I think there are valid exceptions to this line of thinking (eg. cops, children) and I would have also made an exception in this case.
Having said that, I think from this guy's point of view he actually got the worst punishment - no martyrdom and no "virgins" and a very long time being confined and separated from his people.
What's more, his death would have given a boost to his cause and there's no justice to be had in that.
The jury had a really tough job to do and I think they made the right choice.
