Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Is Guilty in Boston Marathon Bombing Trial
NY Times ^ | April 8, 2015 | Katharine Q. Seeyle

After 11 hours of deliberations over two days, a federal jury on Wednesday found Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, a failing college student and the youngest child in a dispersed Russian immigrant family, guilty of the 2013 bombings at the Boston Marathon, the worst act of terrorism on American soil since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

The bombings almost two years ago transformed one of the world’s most prestigious road races on a glorious spring afternoon into a scene of carnage with bodies strewn across Boylston Street, giving the nation a horrifying glimpse into the consequences of homegrown, self-taught terrorism. The bombs, planted in retaliation for American-led wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, killed three spectators, blew the limbs off 17 others and wounded 240 more, leaving many with life-altering injuries.

The verdict sets the stage for a second, more contentious phase of the trial in which the same jury will decide whether to sentence him to life in prison or death.

Even the first sentences are packed with leftist spin

“dispersed family,” “home grown terrorism,” “retaliation for US....Afghanistan”

NYT is working overtime with their propaganda

Since this bombing has nothing to do with Islam, is it ok with everyone that after the death penalty is administered this killer be buried in a pigskin?
