Suicidal Maniac kills 11????

So what happens now I wonder. Juan Manuel Alvarez, 25, wanted to commit suicide. He parked his SUV on the railroad tracks and waited for a train.
The train comes and he chickens out and flees his truck.... Now after a horrendous derailment, 11 people are dead and over 150 people injured, not to mention the cost of equipment and other damages obviously ensued by such a collision...
This, taken from an MSNBC News article...
"Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley said prosecutors filed charges for 10 counts of murder with “special circumstances” of committing murder through a train derailment. Under state law, special circumstances allegations can make a defendant eligible for the death penalty.
Cooley said the complaint would be amended to add another count to refer to the 11th victim, found in the wreckage late Wednesday night."
An eyewitness said the train went from around 55 miles per hour to zero in 2 seconds, sending passengers flying down the isles, and leaving a twisted wreck on the tracks, and parking area nearby...
So this guy who wanted to kill himself for whatever reasons (I suspect suicide is a greedy, self-indulgent pastime at best*)chickens out, kills hoardes of people and may now get the Death Penalty... Man, that is irony. Too bad so many innocents have to pay.
*Note: I do not think all suicide cases are self-indulgent, attention getting devices. Some people truly suffer from depression and othe rmental disorders. I pity them and hope that some day, such things can be cured to eliminate these terrible feelings...
*** UPDATE ***
I think the common sentiment here, and one I totally agree with, is that this person should most definately NOT get the death penalty. In fact, I am of a mind that he shoul dbe incarcerated and kept on life support for hs entire sentence...
The Death Penalty is the easy way out. I think maybe this is one issue I have with it. Another is always when the wrong guy gets it, but that is simply not the case here... Let him rot in a cell, preferably with a big roommate named "Bubba"...
