Terrorism Penalties
A conviction for terrorism charges can lead to serious penalties. Use of a weapon of mass destruction carries a sentence for any term of years, including life in prison. If any person was killed as a result of terrorist activities, the punishment can include the death penalty.
While a number of states and the District of Columbia have banned the death penalty, when a person is charged with a federal crime, the state limits on on the death penalty do not apply. Federal terrorism penalties can include a death sentence even where a state has banned the death penalty.
Even if no one is harmed or killed, an individual can face a long prison sentence. A conviction for providing material support or resources to a terrorist organization can result in imprisonment for 20 years. If anyone was killed as a result, then the sentence can be life in prison.
