Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has been convicted on all 30 counts stemming from the attack he carried out during the Boston Marathon Bombing.
Considering the fact that his own lawyer openly admitted that "It was him" during her opening statements, this should come as a shock to absolutely no one. Still, he pleaded "not guilty." Today, the jury disagreed. Tsarnaev now faces the death penalty. As the Boston Globe reports:
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was convicted Wednesday of carrying out the April 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, which devastated a festive crowd near the finish line of the world-renowned race, killing three people and wounding more than 260 others. Tsarnaev, 21, who prosecutors said was a self-radicalized Muslim bent on striking a blow against America, now faces a second phase of his trial in which a jury will decide whether to sentence him to death. The second phase will begin next week. ...Prosecutors argued that Tsarnaev carried out the crimes in a “heinous, cruel and depraved manner” and that he deserves the death penalty. He was convicted of all 30 crimes he was charged with, including 17 that carried the possibility of a death sentence.
Tsarnaev's attorneys reportedly sought a slew of deals which would have spared his life, but prosecutors refused. Good for them. Here's a video from the New York Daily News that asks the oh-so-subtle question, "will he fry?"
