[YESorNO]

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 10m 10 minutes ago
#Tsarnaev is back in the courtroom, judge & jury entering too @NECN

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 9m 9 minutes ago
AUSA William Weinreb begins the government rebuttal @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 10m 10 minutes ago
Weinreb: The defense may say it in different ways, but their argument remains: his brother did it.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 9m 9 minutes ago
Weinreb: no matter how many times they say #Tsarnaev takes responsibility for his actions, they say his brother made him do it @NECN

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 9m 9 minutes ago
Weinreb: that's not true. His brother is not the one on trial @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 11m 11 minutes ago
Weinreb: They keep saying #Tsarnaev only followed his brother, but he's the one on trial here.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 10m 10 minutes ago
Weinreb: "It's entirely up to you" to decide what factors make a difference in this case.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 8m 8 minutes ago
Weinreb: U can say it's more important M. Richard was esp. vulnerable b/c he was a little boy than #Tsarnaev's teacher thought he was nice

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 8m 8 minutes ago
Weinreb: you heard an awful lot about Tamerlan #Tsarnaev during the mitigation case...Clarke referred to him over 100 times just now @NECN

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 8m 8 minutes ago
Weinreb: you heard about Chechnya, but he has never set foot in Chechnya in his entire life @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 8m 8 minutes ago
Defense tries to object, but judge allows Weinreb to continue @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 7m 7 minutes ago
Weinreb: they may not have been well off -
Defense: objection your honor
Judge: overruled
@NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 7m 7 minutes ago
Weinreb: The #Tsarnaev family was of modest means, but this defendant had all he needed to thrive; they even wound up in America.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 7m 7 minutes ago
Weinreb: the defendant had everything he needed to grow into a strong, independent, mature adult & that's what he did @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 7m 7 minutes ago
Defense objects twice during this closing, overruled both times.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 7m 7 minutes ago
Weinreb: We heard about #Tsarnaev's schooling; he was well-liked by dedicated teachers and coaches. He had it all, able to grow successfully

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 7m 7 minutes ago
Weinreb: #Tsarnaev was a leader, a friend, he held a teacher's newborn, he was trusted, he knew right from wrong.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 6m 6 minutes ago
Weinreb: Tamerlan wasn't as good in school as Dzhokhar, but he excelled at boxing, was charming @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 7m 7 minutes ago
Weinreb: Tamerlan meantime was more vocal about his beliefs, easily lost his temper. But they were from same family, both physically strong.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 7m 7 minutes ago
Weinreb: despite their differences...in many ways they were very much alike @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 6m 6 minutes ago
Weinreb: despite what Ms. Clarke just told you there's no evidence Tamerlan asked Dzhokhar to get a gun, none @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 6m 6 minutes ago
Weinreb: When #Tsarnaev needed a gun, he got one from his friend, saying he needed to rob some drug dealers in Providence.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 6m 6 minutes ago
Weinreb: Despite what you just heard, there's no evidence at all that Tamerlan had his brother get that gun.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 5m 5 minutes ago
Weinreb: did you hear any evidence that convinces you that Tamerlan #Tsarnaev actually made Dzhokhar Tsarnaev commit these crimes? @NECN

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 5m 5 minutes ago
Weinreb: Ask yourself this: did you hear any evidence that Tamerlan actually forced his brother to do these things?

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 5m 5 minutes ago
Weinreb: you heard that #Tsarnaev's parents left him - but he was 19 at the time, already at college, making his own money selling pot.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 5m 5 minutes ago
Weinreb: the defendant was already 19yo when his parents left, he hadn't lived at home for over a year @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 4m 4 minutes ago
Weinreb argues Dzhokhar wasn't financially dependent or otherwise on Tamerlan #Tsarnaev @NECN

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 4m 4 minutes ago
Weinreb: Tamerlan emailed Dzhokhar 6 times in Russia...where is the evidence of brainwash and mind control? @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 3m 3 minutes ago
Weinreb: you did hear testimony that Tamerlan was bossy...he wanted him to pray & go the mosque more often @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 3m 3 minutes ago
Weinreb: That is a far cry from coercion & control @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 3m 3 minutes ago
Weinreb: Tamerlan was bossy, yes, but no one other than the defense lawyers have said that Tamerlan coerced his brother to commit murder.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 2m 2 minutes ago
Weinreb: The defense says #Tsarnaev's parents neglected him.
"Is that what it looked like to you?"

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 3m 3 minutes ago
Weinreb: This defendant was surrounded and guided by some of the best mentors: teachers, advisors, friends, coaches, his landlady.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 2m 2 minutes ago
Weinreb: those aren't the photos of a child who is neglected, on the contrary both his parents were devoted to him @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 2m 2 minutes ago
Defense rises twice to object again, saying govt is going far beyond the scope.
Judge overrules.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 2m 2 minutes ago
Weinreb says Dzhokhar's parents didn't separate or move away until after all their children had grown up @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 1m 1 minute ago
Weinreb: that is considerably more support & guidance than a lot of adolescents have @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1m 1 minute ago
Miriam Conrad objects to something Weinreb wants to show, saying the jury has never seen it.
She wants a sidebar. Judge says no.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 23s 23 seconds ago
Weinreb gets to show the quotes that come from the earlier writings of a defense witness, talking about Chechnya and culture there,

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 32s 33 seconds ago
Repeated objections from the defense as government tries to show foreign policy notes on Chechnya @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 3m 3 minutes ago
Govt gives in on one & doesn't show it, judge allows the second document - it's something written by a defense witness @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 2m 2 minutes ago
Defense expert Prof. Michael Reynolds had written these quotes that were just read in court about Chechens & the #Tsarnaev brothers @NECN

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 3m 3 minutes ago
Conrad rises again - an objects again, saying they have no chance to respond to this.
"The objection is overruled."

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 2m 2 minutes ago
At issue, earlier writings of defense witness Prof. Michael Reynolds, who seemed to contradict his beliefs when he testified here.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1m 1 minute ago
Weinreb: Why didn't we hear from #Tsarnaev's parents, sisters, uncle? If defense wanted to talk re: Tamerlan's influence, why not call them?

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 45s 46 seconds ago
Weinreb: You also heard from a number of young women who liked the defendant but they'd never been to his house. How well did they know him?

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 9s 10 seconds ago
Weinreb says of Dzhokhar's friends "how well did they really know him, obviously not really well" @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 57s 57 seconds ago
Weinreb: and he didn't care about them enough to warn them away from Boylston St on the day of the bombings @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 26s 26 seconds ago
Weinreb: The defense wants u to believe Tamerlan was in control. Did they meet the burden of proof? Where were the witnesses w/ insight?

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1m 1 minute ago
Weinreb: Does it matter if #Tsarnaev got his jihadi propaganda from his brother?
"Ask yourself, 'So what?'"

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 17s 18 seconds ago
Weinreb: ask yourself this question, even if it's true so what? Tamerlan didn't turn the defendant into a murderer @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 39s 39 seconds ago
Weinreb: Why did the defendant commit these crimes, you wonder? Look in #Tsarnaev's boat note. He tells us right there.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 19s 19 seconds ago
Weinreb: if you want to know why #Tsarnaev committed these crimes...what better place to look for answer than in own handwritten note @NECN

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 38s 38 seconds ago
Weinreb: #Tsarnaev doesn't mention his brother when he says "I don't like killing innocent people."
He was guided by Allah, not his brother.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 27s 28 seconds ago
Weinreb: the best evidence you have of #Tsarnaev brothers relationship is the evidence of how they committed these crimes - together @NECN

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 9s 9 seconds ago
Weinreb: #Tsarnaev chose on his own to decide where to place his bomb for maximum effect. Both brothers later executed Sean Collier.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 4s 5 seconds ago
Weinreb: contrary to what Ms. Clarke told you about murder of Sean Collier, there's no evidence of who pulled the trigger @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 15s 15 seconds ago
Weinreb: "Don't mistake argument for fact." We don't know who pulled the trigger that killed Sean Collier; but both are culpable.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 12s 12 seconds ago
Weinreb: If we were talking about "youthful crimes" like robbing a liquor store & shooting the clerk, then you might excuse #Tsarnaev's age.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 19s 20 seconds ago
Weinreb says Dzhokhar's age might deserve some weight if these were youthful crimes, but they weren't @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 16s 17 seconds ago
Weinreb: But these were political crimes - that stopped the Boston Marathon, closed down Logan Airport, and shut a city down.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 11s 12 seconds ago
Weinreb: murders on Boylston St are not a youthful indiscretion...the defendant is old enough to understand right from wrong @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 12s 13 seconds ago
Weinreb: there is no guarantee that the defendant will spend the rest of his life in H Unit or even ADX @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 32s 32 seconds ago
Weinreb: Just 1 thing re: ADX: There is no guarantee #Tsarnaev will spend his life there & it's likely his restrictions get loose over time.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 45s 46 seconds ago
Weinreb: why did the defense choose Sister Helen to spend time with the defendant, why not choose an Imam? @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 12s 13 seconds ago
Weinreb says it's because Sister Helen is one of the leading opponents of the death penalty in the United States @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 3m 3 minutes ago
Weinreb: Why did the defense call Sister Helen Prejean? Why not someone local? Why someone Catholic? Was it her national reputation?

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 2m 2 minutes ago
Weinreb: What did Prejean's testimony tell you? Are you confident you know more about #Tsarnaev now than before.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 2m 2 minutes ago
A double defense objection - Bruck and Conrad object on different grounds simultaneously. Judge overrules both.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 2m 2 minutes ago
Weinreb: when you stack that up against his actions in this case, does that really make a difference? @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 30s 31 seconds ago
Defense continues to object saying they were limited in what they could question Sister Helen about, judge overrules @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 2m 2 minutes ago
Weinreb continues: Prejean says #Tsarnaev was young. She is 76, he is 21, of course he seems young.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 30s 30 seconds ago
Weinreb: Life in prison means #Tsarnaev will be "safe, well-fed" and have access to medical care. Friends will visit, he will work out.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 18s 19 seconds ago
Weinreb: Maybe he'll leave behind his memories of Richard, Campbell, and Lu, like he left them on the street when he went to buy milk.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 59s 59 seconds ago
Weinreb: Will he spend his days thinking about the victims or himself, his next phone call, letter, read books & magazines @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 18s 18 seconds ago
Weinreb: the callousness & indifference that allows you to destroy people's lives...that doesn't go away @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · now
Weinreb: The defendant deserves the death penalty not because he's inhuman but because he's inhumane @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 32s 32 seconds ago
Weinreb: Did you hear any testimony from any witness that speaks louder than his own actions?

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 12s 13 seconds ago
Weinreb: #Tsarnaev's actions tell you all you need to know about the person he became @NECN

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 13s 14 seconds ago
Weinreb: Yes, you know who #Tsarnaev was as a child. But you must consider who he became as an adult.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 19s 19 seconds ago
Weinreb: I urge you to go through all aggravating factors & don't write 12 on all mitigating factors @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 31s 32 seconds ago
Weinreb: If u sentence #Tsarnaev to life in prison, you give him the minimum punishment allowable. "Does he deserve the minimum punishment?"

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 35s 36 seconds ago
Weinreb: life is the minimum punishment allowed by law for this, does he deserve the minimum punishment for those 4 deaths? @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 29s 30 seconds ago
Weinreb is done with his rebuttal closing. Judge says he will see attorneys now at sidebar @NECN #Tsarnaev
------------------------------

Excellent rebuttal by Weinreb, IMO.

 

[YESorNO]

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 6s 7 seconds ago
Even over the music, you can hear Miriam Conrad arguing loudly about the content of Weinreb's closing. She's angry the judge allowed it.

Sidebar ends, judge says he will complete his earlier instructions that be began this morning.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 1m 1 minute ago
Sidebar done, judge says he has some relatively brief remarks for jurors @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 44s 44 seconds ago
Judge: remember, all 12 of you must be unanimous to impose the death sentence.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 44s 44 seconds ago
Judge: the importance of your deliberations should be obvious @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 8s 8 seconds ago
Judge: If you need to communicate with me for any reason, send a note to me from the foreperson. Give no details about your progress.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 1m 1 minute ago
Judge: this has been a long case, you must each decide this case for yourself @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 23s 24 seconds ago
Judge: as with prior phase, if it becomes necessary to communicate with me simply send a note, but don't advise of progress @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 24s 25 seconds ago
Judge: when you have reached a decision send me a note @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 26s 27 seconds ago
Judge: each day at the end of deliberations the verdict slip will be sealed in an envelope & not opened until next day @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 4s 5 seconds ago
Judge: Only 12 of you will deliberate, like last phase, but alternates are still important. You'll be separated again.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 17s 17 seconds ago
Judge says alternates will be separated from deliberating jurors during deliberation @NECN #Tsarnaev

Dzhokhar #Tsarnaev, like he has every other day, sits at defense table, no expression as Judge conveys final instructions to jury. #fox25

In a few moments, all that will remain of the #Tsarnaev trial will be for the jury to decide if Dzhokhar lives or dies. #fox25

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 3m 3 minutes ago
The music that muffles sidebars is dipping, so judge asks jury to leave during sidebar. He says they can come back in a moment.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 3m 3 minutes ago
The jury leaves so the judge & attorneys can discuss the verdict slip further @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 3m 3 minutes ago
Judge seems intent on having deliberations start today.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 2m 2 minutes ago
Since jury is out, the "sidebar" moves to open court.
Defense has problems with the jury instructions given to the jurors.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1m 1 minute ago
Bruck: Do not give jury the false impression that if they can't reach unanimity, it's a mistrial. They must understand that isn't the case.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 57s 58 seconds ago
Defense questions language in jury verdict slip about possible misinterpretation of lack of unanimity causing mistrial @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 44s 45 seconds ago
Judge says he has ruled on this previously, defense objection is noted @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 17s 18 seconds ago
Defense objects to certain proposed instructions that weren't included today - judge says he also already ruled on this @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 26m 26 minutes ago
We typically get an email from the court (and a tweet) when there is a verdict; this feels like a jury question.
#Tsarnaev just arrived.

The question seems to focus on whether the jurors should apply "our own interpretations" on some questions.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 16m 16 minutes ago
The government says it thinks the jury's question is about the law, which was explained in instructions @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 17m 17 minutes ago
AUSA Weinreb: it seems like they're asking about the law.
Defense atty Bruck: I think the answer is already in their instructions.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 16m 16 minutes ago
Jurors are asking again about "aiding and abetting" and "conspiracy" - very similar to their questions from the 1st phase.
#Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 16m 16 minutes ago
I should note, the jury is not here right now.
Judge & lawyers are hammering out a response before jurors return.
#Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 15m 15 minutes ago
The question, I should also note, is based on "Gateway Factors" part of the verdict slip--one of the very first things they have to decide.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 16m 16 minutes ago
Defense says it thinks the jury is focused on Dzhokhar's "intent" to assist Tamerlan @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 14m 14 minutes ago
Defense argues #Tsarnaev could have had intent to participate but not intent to kill - says question is different than guilt phase @NECN

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 12m 12 minutes ago
As the judge & attorneys discuss this issue & determine how to respond, the jury remains back in jury room deliberating @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 13m 13 minutes ago
Judge says so they're not rushed on this he's going to give attorneys a short break to discuss @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 13m 13 minutes ago
Judge himself says the answer to this question might end up being "a little too abstruse for the jury".
He calls for a break.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 14m 14 minutes ago
Judge leaves and legal teams form into huddles.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 11m 11 minutes ago
Here's the 1st page of that section of the #Tsarnaev jury verdict slip, FYI.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 12m 12 minutes ago
#Tsarnaev remains in the courtroom as his attorneys discuss this jury question @NECN

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 10m 10 minutes ago
The question, as far as anyone can understand, seems to involve jury's understanding of #Tsarnaev's intent AND its connections to phase 1

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 9m 9 minutes ago
Jury is asking if they must apply "aiding & abetting" & "conspiracy" language that was used in guilt phase to this phase @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 8m 8 minutes ago
"Aiding & abetting" & "conspiracy" language is not in this verdict slip under the gateway factors. @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 8m 8 minutes ago
Judge's clerk seems antsy; he wants to know if the lawyers are ready. Defense says yes, prosecutors say no.
#Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 5m 5 minutes ago
Defense arguing the language is purposely different in this verdict slip because the penalty phase is inherently different @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 4m 4 minutes ago
If the jury focuses on "intent" that could also bring in mitigating factors, such as Tamerlan's influence @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 38s 38 seconds ago
Interesting visual: the defense team, and #Tsarnaev, are all seated, facing forward.
Prosecutors meantime are still huddled, incl Ortiz.

There are 4 "gateway factors" jurors are considering; need to find 1 proved on at least 1 count to move on in deliberations @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 20s 21 seconds ago
Jurors need to find that gov't proved at least 1 gateway factor before they can move on to sentencing, fyi.
#Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 24s 24 seconds ago
Gateway factors include:
Did #Tsarnaev intentionally kill victim(s)?
Did #Tsarnaev intentionally inflict serious bodily injury?

 

[YESorNO]

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 36s 37 seconds ago
Judge re-enters.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 6s 6 seconds ago
The judge is back. AUSA William Weinreb says the government assumes this question is about the death of Krystle Campbell @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 22s 22 seconds ago
Weinreb: As we understand it, if the jury finds #Tsarnaev killed a victim, they also have to find he INTENDED for that person to die.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 27s 28 seconds ago
Weinreb: We should just point the jury to the instructions they have already been given and tell them the answer is there.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 23s 24 seconds ago
Govt says jury found Dzhokhar guilty of death of Campbell through aiding & abetting even though Tamerlan placed that bomb @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 50s 50 seconds ago
Govt says jury should be basing its decision on that conviction @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 19s 19 seconds ago
Defense atty David Bruck says in the penalty phase the culpability of a defendant can be so low, they may not be penalized @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 15s 16 seconds ago
Bruck says the court needs to keep in mind the purpose of the gateway factors. @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 35s 35 seconds ago
Bruck: We think the question of whether or not #Tsarnaev intentionally killed someone is plain enough as its written in the Gateway section.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 33s 34 seconds ago
Bruck: The court's instructions as they exist now are ample.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 53s 53 seconds ago
Bruck thinks jury should be directed back to instructions given during penalty phase not aiding & abetting instructions @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 7s 7 seconds ago
Govt: "that begs the question, what are the personal actions of intent" @NECN #Tsarnaev
