Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 5h 5 hours ago
Bruck: your field of expertise is in the Middle East
Levitt: correct
@NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 5h 5 hours ago
Bruck: the main language of the Middle East is Arabic, which is a language you don't read.
Levitt: correct
@NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 5h 5 hours ago
Bruck:I take it you're not an expert in Russia or the culture & history of the North Caucuses?
Levitt says he knows a little
@NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 5h 5 hours ago
Levitt explains he was asked to look over Dzhokhar's computer & MP3 files - he says between 24-48 files in all @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 5h 5 hours ago

@NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 5h 5 hours ago
Bruck: were you given any information on Tamerlan's travel overseas to Russia & Chechnya?
Levitt: not by the prosecution
@NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 5h 5 hours ago
Levitt: My understanding was I was to focus on the defendant & not the deceased. @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 5h 5 hours ago
Levitt: It doesn't matter where you got these materials from, it's whether you internalized them @NECN #Tsarnaev

 

[YESorNO]

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 5h 5 hours ago
Bruck asks if someone else internalized these materials & harangued someone could that contribute to the radicalization? @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 5h 5 hours ago
Levitt says if someone takes that information to extremes you've checked that box of radicalization however it happened @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 5h 5 hours ago
Levitt: at the end of the day what we do know for a given is the attack that happened...and the defendant's statement @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 5h 5 hours ago
Levitt says all he can do is compare Dzhokhar's writings on the boat to the articles in Inspire Magazine @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 5h 5 hours ago
Levitt says he wasn't given all the materials in the case, was given book covers, some Inspire magazine articles @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 5h 5 hours ago
Bruck asks Levitt about Anwar Al-Awlaki's "Hereafter" series. Levitt says while it's not about jihad, it draws listeners in @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 5h 5 hours ago
Bruck: sort of like a gateway drug?
Levitt: a gateway drug or a conveyor belt to the lectures about jihad
@NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 5h 5 hours ago
Bruck asks if Awlaki's lectures could be seductive to someone looking for meaning - Levitt says yes @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 5h 5 hours ago

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 5h 5 hours ago
Bruck said 22 audio files about an hour long each were found on Dzhokhar's computer @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 5h 5 hours ago
Levitt: "I don't consider myself a scholar on Islam or on the Qur'an" @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 5h 5 hours ago
But Levitt says he can point to some phrases in the boat message that are religious @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 5h 5 hours ago
Bruck: Have you read all the Inspire Magazines?
Levitt: Unfortunately.
@NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 5h 5 hours ago
Bruck: In all the Inspire Magazines have you heard Americans referred to as "innocent people?"
Levitt: I don't remember
@NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 5h 5 hours ago
As Bruck presses Levitt on the phrase "innocent people" & whether it was in Inspire mag, Levitt says "asked & answered" @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 5h 5 hours ago
Bruck asks how Levitt knows the boat message was directed toward the American people as he testified yesterday @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 5h 5 hours ago
Levitt says it doesn't take an expert to look at the grammar in the boat message to determine that @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 5h 5 hours ago
Levitt: (comparing the boat message to Inspire & other religious texts) there are clear parallels in these ideas @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 5h 5 hours ago
Levitt: When the paraphrase is particularly close to the text, that is a statement in and of itself @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 5h 5 hours ago
Bruck asks Levitt about RTing Globe tweets about his testimony yesterday. He says he RT'd a few then "thought better of it" @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 5h 5 hours ago
Levitt says he would normally be tweeting a lot more about a case like this but has held back because he's testifying @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 5h 5 hours ago
Defense is done with cross examination of Levitt. Chakravarty begins redirect. @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 5h 5 hours ago
Chakravarty: Does everyone who hears Awlaki become radicalized?
Levitt: Absolutely not.
@NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 5h 5 hours ago
RE: tweeting the trial Levitt: I was wise enough not to do that, but perhaps not wise enough to wait a few days before RTing @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 5h 5 hours ago
Prosecution is done with Dr. Levitt. He is excused. @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 5h 5 hours ago
