Verdict Reached In Boston Bombing Trial
An anonymous reader writes "A Boston jury has reached a verdict in the trial of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who admitted that he planted a bomb at the finish line of the Boston Marathon that left three dead and wounded 264 others. After deliberating for 11½ hours the jury has found Dzhokhar guilty on all 30 charges brought against him."
Given his poor defense, I'm really not all that surprised. Though I wonder how it will flesh out in appeals if he gets the death penalty. One might argue the poor quality defense would force a retrial if they can convince an appeals court of incompetence or something like that.
Most news analysts had a guilty verdict as a foregone conclusion, with the real question being whether the bomber would face the death penalty. It's strange that it took 11 and a half hours to reach the verdict.
Considered what happened to Aaron Swartz, this prosecutor should lose the case.
Wish he was brought to trial, being told GUILTY right on his face, and then executed right after in the shooting range

lololol

The defense strategy was never to argue that he was innocent, it was to argue that he should receive life in prison rather than the death penalty. That will mainly occur over the next few weeks in the sentencing phase of the trial. This first guilt phase could've been done on day 1, but the prosecution wanted to grandstand.

He's guilty, everyone knows he's guilty, but there will be a certain group or groups of people that will start with the racism, anti-Mus*** stuff online and the news media.
Ya right.

Even if He was naturalized two years before the bombings, he should lose that privilege. How much will it cost to keep him on death row?
Better yet, leave him in a locked room with the victim's families for a couple of hours.
I've got better things to do tonight than die.
"Jurors saw graphic scenes of a street awash in blood and severed limbs and the dazed, traumatized expressions on people's faces. They heard screams and moans. It looked like a war zone, several witnesses said."
Maybe if the same kinds of evidence were presented in a public court about our invasion, bombing, and occupation of other countries, we would have a more honest discussion about the true costs of war and whether the ends justify the means.
Go ahead and give him a life sentence and get this over with. He'll die soon enough in prison, especially of the guards "accidentally" happen to be looking the other way. He's pretty recognizable, and he definitely won't be the most popular position no matter where he is sent to.
I've abandoned my search for truth; now I'm just looking for some useful delusions.

Look at the picture of Jeff Bauman (with both legs allegedly blown off) being wheeled in a wheelchair TO an ambulance! Why wasn't the ambulance driven TO him instead? That would be too easy, wouldn't it. How ridiculous. That alone proves this was a false flag event. Was there not a huge ROAD right in front of the scene of the bombing, where all the 'victims' were? Why would you wheel a double amputee in a wheelchair TO an ambulance hundreds of yards away, unless for a photo op? You Slashdot cretins are unbelievable, you can't even THINK about the most basic thing, you will believe absolutely anything the JEW media tells you.

The defense, in their opening statement, admitted the defendant committed the crime. A trial to determine his guilt was merely a formality leading up to the penalty phase. Everybody, including the prosecution, defense (and presumably the defendant), and the judge all understood this. But it must be a slow news day, as every media outlet is making this out to be a big deal.

you know.. the pictures of the guys who this kid was with that dozens of people caught on camera and a guy carrying the backpack that matched the one that exploded. who was photo'd after the explosion hiding in the lee of a building - sans backpack.
the story the media tried to bury by blaming the internet for attacking this innocent security contractor.
the lies about the brother being run over when he was reported as stabbed in a media interview by one of the investigators and the surprise on the faces of the other security officials standing behind the investigator when he said this. The picture of the older brother in handcuffs that was leaked onto the internet. The killing of another person associated with the older brother.
The investigator falling out of a helicopter during a training accident shortly after.
but, it might just all be coincidence, misinformation and lies. who knows.
Won't that make him a martyr?

its ok when its Americans blowing people up but how dare any one dare to do that to americans. So now we know all it takes is 2 pressure cooker bombs to bring the 'greatest nation on earth ' to its knees.
From a person who had to live under the IRA bombing campaign the citizens of Boston paid for.
Well, that's gone.
Those that deny the existence of God are the mentally ill. Democracy is wrong because it implies that the people should choose a Government and not God, just as the jury deciding whether Dzhokhar Tsarnaev should be given the death penalty is wrong when that is also God's responsibility. Be careful.
Obama rode into office, in part, on the left-wing accusation that Bush "lied us into war" by claiming Saddam Hussein had WMDs, but now the Obama asministration has successfully prosecuted a person for using a WMD when that person blew up a pressure cooker bomb (a despicable act already covered by anti-murder and anti-bomb-building laws).
Several points are in order here:
1. WMD has traditionally been equivalent to the military designation NBC (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical) and was considered so terrible because the effects could not be accurately predicted or contained (germs, gasses, and fallout scatter across wide regions affecting civilians, "good guys" and "bad guys" and are subject to things like the wind). A "Weapon of Mass Destruction" is NOT "any weapon that kills a bunch of people" ... such a definition would render nearly every military weapon of the past two centuries a "WMD"
2. When congress creates a new category of anything and gives the executive branch extra powers or extra flexibility when dealing with that thing, you can be 100% certain that the executive branch, no matter which party is in control, will suddenly discover that EVERYTHING fits into that category - a little like a kid with a hammer deciding that the entire world is made of nails.
3. Bush actually said in his televised speech that he had been given reports that Iraq was restarting its WMD programs (this was actually true - he had been given such reports). I am not a fan of Bush and firmly believe he was very wrong to go into Iraq, but he was wrongly (and very successfully) tarred with this lie that he lied the nation into a war .... and by some of the very same political hacks who lied claiming Bush was at fault for 9/11 (the same people who would have blasted him if he had NOT gone into Iraq and then later an Iraqi WMD WAS used and it was discovered Bush had prior knowledge of the possibility) Bush was, in many ways, in a no-win position. One thing is certain though: there actually ARE many WMDs in Iraq not that President Obama has legally certified pressure cookers as WMDs.
Why did this trial take 2 years?? I have not seen any evidence clearly showing Tsarnaev planting a pressure cooker bomb. I have seen a half dozen or so videos of the brothers walking around with backpacks. If you pay attention to these videos you can see at least another half dozen people (men and women) with backpacks of similar size. The only video evidence that leads me to believe he may have done it is the one where the younger brother is close to the front fence and a bomb goes off to the left of him off camera... the rest of the crowd reacts and looks over to the area where the bomb went off... Tsarnaev starts getting out of the area immediately, whereas it takes other spectators a few seconds to start leaving and going to the right.... then 10 seconds later a bomb goes off in camera and the camera goes black. I just want to say I have doubts about all this. It should be well known that organizations and individuals can make a ton of money off events like this. I'm talking stock market action, I'm also talking about new surveillance deals and security apparatuses being sold to the government and private organizations. Just saying there are a lot of people that have motive to set something like this up because they and there friends will profit immensely. Tsarnaev had little motive to do something like this. The only news coverage I saw or heard all had the Tsarnaev's pegged as absolutely guilty from day one. Constant references to "this trial is already over its just a matter of the death penalty" for months. I just want to say I am very worried about how everyone in this country behaves whenever anything "terrorist" related happens. Tell me, have any of you heard Tsarnaev talk freely about what happened that day? In fact I cannot find a SINGLE VIDEO of Tsarnaev saying ANYTHING about all of this. Maybe someone can post some links. If not can any of you explain how what happened here is any different from some of the really awful oppressive countries and governments that you learned about in school during the world wars... russian gulags... siberia never to be heard from again? etc. Look, most likely the Tsarnaevs did do it... but it seems HIGHLY unlikely that there we have brought all parties that were involved in the bombing to justice.
He loses if he dies while touching a pig, gets killed by a woman, or gets killed by a lefty. Let's make it all happen.
Too bad no country or state has the option of the penalty of death by torture - because terrorists like this moron needs to die really slowly while experiencing pain comparable to the sum of the pain experienced by the victims of his bomb.
Die Die Die!!!
I wish he fries in hell !!!
That's what you get for hurting America!!
