Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 17m 17 minutes ago
AUSA Nadine Pelligrini pauses, wants to show jurors other picutres: It's #Tsarnaev at the finish line, wearing this hat.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 15m 15 minutes ago

On the windowsill of #Tsarnaev's dorm, kind of behind his stand-up closet, there was a big firework, about twice the height of a soda can.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 4h 4 hours ago
The fireworks are called "mega bangers" - Pellegrini walks them by the jurors so all can see them close up @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 4h 4 hours ago

Franks: yes.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 4h 4 hours ago
Pelligrini is back:
Franks, do you know who made the dorm door decorations or who put them there?
- No.

Franks is excused.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 4h 4 hours ago

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 4h 4 hours ago
Prosecutors have created an interactive diagram of the apartment, just as was done for dorm; they can click and see close-up evidence pics.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 4h 4 hours ago
As the government asks to show a diagram of the #Tsarnaev apt the defense objects to the description of it. Judge calls sidebar @NECN

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 4h 4 hours ago

Judge takes morning break a little early to allow attorneys to make sure those exhibits were numbered correctly @NECN #Tsarnaev
