| GUILTY - Tsarnaev Convicted In Boston Marathon Bombing Case |
| 2015-04-08 |
| Confessed murderer Dzhokhar Tsarnaev will now be the one pleading for his life after a federal jury took just 11 hours to find him guilty of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings and aftermath that left four dead and 260 maimed and injured. A clerk ordered "complete silence" in the courtroom before the verdict was read finding Tsarnaev, 21, guilty of charges including conspiracy, use of a weapon of mass destruction and the murders of restaurant manager Krystle Marie Campbell, 29, Boston University graduate student Lingzi Lu, 23, and Martin Richard, 8 at the marathon finish line, as well as MIT Police Officer Sean Collier three days later. The jury's work is far from done. As early as next week, the same 12 deliberating jurors will reconvene for the start of Tsarnaev's sentencing trial, where they will decide if he is to serve out his days behind bars or be ordered put to death. |

| #9 To go with the last comment: I wonder if the US federal prison system will have any trouble betting injectables for performing executions, as the states have had... |

| #7 CrazyFool - I wonder if the charges include running over his brother "Speedbump". Interestingly enough, that was not one of the charges. |

| #5 I'm seeing some of the youngsters with missing limbs and wondering about a sentence that involves amputation of body parts until there are no more body parts. |

| #2 Sometime you're just plain guilty. Wonder if Vegas is taking bets whether from date of conviction he'll live longer than Tim McVeigh? Unending delays or quick and swift? |
