Jury begins deliberations in Boston Marathon bombing case

The jury began deliberations Wednesday on whether convicted Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev will be sentenced to life in prison or death.

"We're asking you to choose life," Defense attorney Judy Clarke told jurors during closing arguments. "He'll have no glory or stature that martyrdom will bring."

Clarke made her plea shortly after the prosecution told jurors Tsarnaev was a remorseless terrorist whose actions "have earned him a sentence of death."

"The defendant knew what kind of hell was going to be unleashed," Prosecutor Steve Mellin said.

Tsarnaev, 21, was found guilty of conspiring and detonating weapons of mass destruction at a public event as an act of terrorism resulting in death. His brother, Tamerlan, was killed during a shootout with police during the manhunt. Ref. USAToday

I bet they will choose death. After all that this boy and his brother did I don't see much mercy coming to him.

Didn't I say they would proclaim death as the best option in this case. What's the sense of feeding the senseless day after day for decades to come.

Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev apologized today during his federal sentencing hearing. "I would like to now apologize to the victims and the survivors," He said. "I am sorry for the lives that I have taken."

"If there is any lingering doubt, I did it along with my brother," He said, referring to the bombing. "I ask Allah to have mercy on me, my brother and my family."

Tsarnaev, a 21-year-old former college student, is the first person to be handed a death sentence in a federal terrorism case since the attacks of September 11, 2001. He and his older brother, Tamerlan, who died while fleeing police, set off two bombs at the finish line of the Boston Marathon on April 15, 2013.
