Boston Marathon Bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Found Guilty



New York Times: Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Is Guilty in Boston Marathon Bombing Trial

BOSTON — After 11 hours of deliberations over two days, a federal jury on Wednesday found Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, a failing college student and the youngest child in a dispersed Russian immigrant family, guilty of the 2013 bombings at the Boston Marathon, the worst act of terrorism on American soil since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

The bombings almost two years ago transformed one of the world’s most prestigious road races on a glorious spring afternoon into a scene of carnage with bodies strewn across Boylston Street, giving the nation a horrifying glimpse into the consequences of homegrown, self-taught terrorism. The bombs, planted in retaliation for American-led wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, killed three spectators, blew the limbs off 17 others and wounded 240 more, leaving many with life-altering injuries.

I saw a story in the Daily Mail or here that soon we could not afford to try all terrorism cases because of lack of resources.

So is this verdict a victory?

How is this a victory when the U.S. is at war with itself as shown by HRW? For every terrorist attack that cause much damage and is super expensive to prosecute. HRW and other will trumpet the Tsarnaev case much like the ACLU trumpeted NAZis marching through Skokie. It is a head fake. HRW and other will let far more go or dispute everything than see actual effective prosecution.
