Dzhokhar Tsarnaev found guilty on all counts in Boston Marathon bombing
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was convicted Wednesday in the Boston Marathon bombing by a federal jury that now must decide whether he should be executed.
The verdict was reached Wednesday afternoon, nearly two years to the day three people were killed and more than 260 injured in the April 15, 2013, bombings.
Tsarnaev, 21, showed no emotion as he listened to the verdict, reached after a day and a half of deliberations. He was found guilty on all 30 counts that included conspiracy and use of a weapon of mass destruction -- offenses punishable by death.
His conviction was practically a foregone conclusion, given his lawyer's startling admission during opening statements that Tsarnaev carried out the attack with his now-dead older brother, Tamerlan.
The two shrapnel-packed pressure-cooker bombs that exploded near the finish line, turning the traditionally celebratory home stretch of the world-famous race into a scene of carnage and putting the city on edge for days.
In the next phase of the trial, the jury will hear evidence on whether Tsarnaev should get the death penalty or spend the rest of his life in prison.
In a bid to save Tsarnaev from a death sentence, defense attorney Judy Clarke has argued that Tsarnaev, then 19, fell under the influence of his radicalized brother. Tamerlan, 26, died when he was shot by police and run over by his brother during a chaotic getaway attempt days after the bombing.

My question for you is...will a bunch of libs from Mass actually support the death penalty...even in this case? after the last few years, its more difficult to trust libs will do the right thing.

They've already gotten far better than they deserve.

So a pressure cooker is a weapon of mass destruction but Saddam's 5000 chemical warheads are not? That must be liberal logic.

Agreed. A bullet should've taken out the punk in the same gunfight that took out his brother.

He was wounded in the gunfight. If he was not found in the boat, he probably would of died.
