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

Posted on 04/08/2015 11:18:09 AM PDT by C19fan

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.

No worry, no doubt Obummer will pardon him before he leaves office.

Now...kill him!

They are going down the charges now, and so far he has been found guilty of 13 charges that carry the death penalty, so they may have to kill him at least 13 times.

Maybe they will need a new form of execution, like blowing him up, so they can just keep packing additional explosives for each charge.

“He’s not Russian..”

No joke. It’s one thing to omit thing, but now they boldly just make stuff up.

Update! Guilty 17 out of 17 death penalty charges, and the hits keep coming.

At this rate, they might even find him guilty of things he wasn’t charged with

This trial should never have happened. MILLIONS being spent on “lawyers”....what a circus...this little $%#@&** bastard should have been shot while in the boat. The lawyers for this scum have been flown in throughout the whole money grubbing affair ....and for what reason? Now, even if he gets the death penalty the same lawyers will appeal and make more $...nothing like soaking the public for no reason....should have been a simple bench trial with the verdict handed out the same day DEATH.

As I understand it, the brothers were born in Kyrgyzstan. Their parents were born in Chechnya.

What I mean is, no “displaced” Chechen family would ever in a million years describe themselves as Russian.

Of course not, but the press hasn’t got anything right for so long it’s hard to tell I what is bias, and what is just pure stupidity borne of laziness and cluelessness!

Not to worry, ObOzO will pardon him and deport him back to Dagistan.

The jury needs to do the world a favor and toast the boy. If not, they’ll be putting up with his political bull**** for a long, long time. College retards will be starting a fan club and wearing T-shirts with his picture on them. Do us a favor! Toast him!
