30 Out Of 30

From USA Today:
"Tsarnaev guilty of all 30 charges in Boston bombing"

 

Dzokhkar Tsarnaev was found guilty Wednesday of all 30 federal counts in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing case and faces a possible death sentence. He was convicted of a string of charges, including conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction. Tsarnaev, flanked by his three lawyers, showed no emotion, mostly staring at the defense table and occasionally looking straight ahead. At one point he crossed his arms as Federal Judge George O'Toole read the lengthy verdict. The seven-woman, five-man federal jury returned its verdict after two days of deliberations. Sentencing for the 21-year-old Tsarnaev will be determined at another hearing that could last as long as two weeks. Seventeen of the 30 counts carrued a possible death penalty The bombing on April 15, 2013 left three people dead and 260 injured. A fourth person, a security officer, was killed three days later during an intense manhunt that brought the shocked city to a standstill. The outcome of some kind of guilty verdict was in little doubt after the defense acknowledged that Tsarrnaev had placed a pressure-cooker explosive device in the crowd near the finish line on Boston's Boylston Street of the annual race.

 

 

^ He admitted his guilt so this was no real surprise. I'm just glad that this was a Federal case and not just a Massachusetts one since now he can get the death penalty - which he deserves. I will never understand people who say it is better to give them life in prison without parole. Of course it is because there then can take education classes, work, receive fan mail, get married, etc. I also don't agree with those that want the death penalty for everything. I am in the middle. I believe the death penalty should only be used in certain circumstances (such as serial killers and terrorism.) For things like child abuse and rape the convicted should be medically castrated. I will keep up on this and see what the sentencing is. ^
