Condemned Appeal

"Condemned Boston Marathon bomber files motion for new trial"

Lawyers for Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev filed a motion for a new trial Monday, less than two weeks after he was formally sentenced to death for the 2013 attack. The motion did not contain any details on Tsarnaev's legal arguments, saying only that a new trial is "required in the interests of justice." Tsarnaev, 21, was convicted of 30 federal charges in the bombing, which killed three people and injured more than 260. The same jury recommended the death penalty, and a federal judge on June 24 sentenced him to death. Tsarnaev's lawyers call the motion a "placeholder" until they can file a more detailed motion next month. The defense also filed a request for a judgment notwithstanding the verdict. Both motions are routinely filed by defense lawyers asking a judge to toss out the jury's verdict. A spokeswoman for U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz did not immediately return a call seeking comment. During his trial, Tsarnaev's lawyers admitted that he and his brother planted two pressure-cooker bombs near the finish line of the marathon. They argued that his older brother, Tamerlan, was the mastermind of the attack and asked the jury to sentence him to life in prison instead of to death. Tamerlan was killed during an escape attempt several days after the bombings.

 

^ He acted like a complete prick throughout his trial and it wasn't until he was sentenced to death that he then started to act scared. He openly admitted his guilt in the terrorist attacks where people were murdered and wounded and so deserves to be put to death. I'm sure this is all his lawyer's (Judy Clarke) doing because she was known to have gotten people off from the death penalty and she wasn't able to do that  here. This is just the beginning of their long appeals process to spare his life and waste taxpayer's money. He openly admitted to the murders and the attacks and so it is a no-brainer. ^
