It's all burned at bottom.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 2h 2 hours ago
The left sleeve is torn, it's very singed.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 2h 2 hours ago
Next we see a black jacket, it's largely shredded on the left, many blood stains.
This is just awful.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 2h 2 hours ago
There is a belt in the box, it was found around Martin's left arm, the jury hears.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 2h 2 hours ago
There's so much melted fabric on next item, the doctor can't say if it was shorts or pants.
Last, his sneakers.

#Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 2h 2 hours ago
Nields explains there were also serious internal injuries to Martin Richard @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 2h 2 hours ago
Unlike the previous two victims, the jury is not seeing autopsy photos of Martin Richard. Frankly the clothing shows enough @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 2h 2 hours ago
Suffice it to say, Martin Richard had extensive and terrible injuries to many of his internal organs as a result of the explosion.
#Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 2h 2 hours ago

Nields has them on witness stand as well.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 2h 2 hours ago
Neilds refers next to a small fragmented piece of metal, found in Martin Richards' clothing; it cut thru his body and came out of his back.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 2h 2 hours ago
Jurors see that piece of metal up close, as AUSA Nadine Pelligrini carries it to jury box.
#Tsarnaev

Again, please note: the gallery will NOT see these images, nor will Mr. & Mrs. Richard, sitting here in court.
Jurors only.
#Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 2h 2 hours ago
Jurors see Martin's first autopsy photo:
at least three are crying

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 2h 2 hours ago
Some jurors just stare at their screens, others have to look away.
A 4th juror is crying, others cover parts of their faces w/ their hands.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 2h 2 hours ago
Nields is reviewing the "thermal injuries" to his body, "contusions, abrasions".
His medial language does nothing to lesson this impact.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 1h 1 hour ago
As some jurors continue to cry, Dr. Nields once again describes the injuries that killed 8yo Martin Richard @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 1h 1 hour ago

#Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1h 1 hour ago
One such image, too graphic for television, shows all the blood and debris in front of Forum...same debris as found at autopsy, Nields says

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 1h 1 hour ago
Prosecution ends by asking Dr. Nields how old Martin Richard was at the time of his death. "He was 8-years-old" @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1h 1 hour ago

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1h 1 hour ago
Gamble: I was also at the UMass Dartmouth scene.
#Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1h 1 hour ago
Even as the defense's first witness, Gamble still has the demeanor of someone under cross examination.
#Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 1h 1 hour ago
Conrad argues it was a search of #Tsarnaev's property, Gamble says it was a search of his dorm room @NECN

#Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1h 1 hour ago
Govt: were you at #Tsarnaev's apartment, in his bedroom with the bunk beds, May 5, 2013?
- Yes.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1h 1 hour ago
That's it for govt. cross-exam.

Grant says he specializes in cell site analysis, computers, social media & does private consulting as well @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 2h 2 hours ago
Grant says he also analyzes social media platforms; sounds like he'll be asked to address testimony offered by multiple govt. witnesses.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 2h 2 hours ago
Grant starts with #Tsarnaev's Twitter feed from the day of the *2012* Boston Marathon (year before the explosions).

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 2h 2 hours ago
Defense attorney Tim Watkins asks Grant about the tweet Dzhokhar made on Marathon Monday 2012 @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 2h 2 hours ago

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 2h 2 hours ago
The account is @J_tsar
Grant says he looked at it; tweets have dates, not exact times, he tells jurors.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 1h 1 hour ago
Jury again sees the 4/16/12 Dzhokhar tweet "they will spend their money & they will regret it & then they will be defeated" @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 1h 1 hour ago
Grant says govt showed wrong time that tweet was posted. Govt said it was tweeted at 3:42 PST, Grant says it was 6:42 EST @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 1h 1 hour ago
Grant says the time is off because of daylight saving time @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 2h 2 hours ago
Grant says he was able to determine what times the tweets were posted (it's easy; hover over the date, or expand the tweet, generally).

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1h 1 hour ago
Def atty. Tim Watkins notes a tweet from 4/16/12: "they will spend their money and they will regret it and then they will be defeated".

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1h 1 hour ago
Grant says the time he found for that tweet doesn't match the prosecution's time, because of daylight saving time.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1h 1 hour ago
These tweets from 4/16/12 are all about #Tsarnaev deciding between wanting to eat breakfast or go back to sleep

Through Grant, defense argues #Tsarnaev must have been at a computer when that tweet was sent, NOT the 2012 marathon @NECN

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1h 1 hour ago
Defense appears to be trying to show the Boston Marathon was not on #Tsarnaev's mind a year before the bombings, despite 1 ominous tweet.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1h 1 hour ago
Watkins: "No mention of the Boston Marathon?"
Grant: "No sir."
#Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1h 1 hour ago

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1h 1 hour ago
Grant says he can take the information off a cell phone log and tell where, generally, where the call came from; can locate the cell tower

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1h 1 hour ago

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1h 1 hour ago
Remember, govt anticipated this, saying they knew GPS was at Square 1 when C\cookers were being bought but they DIDN'T know who was in car.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1h 1 hour ago
Grant: on 1/31/13, 6:54pm, #Tsarnaev used his meal swipe card; was not in Saugus, defense asserts.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 60m 60 minutes ago
- so you wouldn't know that the defendant actually went to the Marathon in 2012 with a friend, do you, if he didn't tweet it?

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 59m 59 minutes ago
Govt says Grant then wouldn't know that Dzhokhar *did* go to the marathon in 2012 with Stephen Silva in the afternoon @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 59m 59 minutes ago
There is 1 tweet, from 12:46pm 4/16/12, that Grant says #Tsarnaev sent from a computer, not his phone.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 58m 58 minutes ago
Chakravarty on 12:46p Marathon Monday 2012 tweet: it doesn't tell you whether that web browser was the browser on the phone? @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 59m 59 minutes ago
Under cross examination, Grant admits that particular could actually HAVE come from #Tsarnaev's phone, if he was logged into a browser.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 58m 58 minutes ago
Grant agrees that one could have used their cell phone's web browser to tweet & it would show up as if sent from a computer @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 57m 57 minutes ago
Chakravarty asks Grant... you can't tell if #Tsarnaev left UMassD to go to Boston on 4/16/12?
- No.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 56m 56 minutes ago

The news of the brothers' interactions via cell, which Grant says he analyzed for trial, seems to surprise him.
#Tsarnaev

I don't care who bought what or who called who, where and when.

He dropped that backpack with a bomb (near people)- no one was making him do that, but himself and that's all the story I need.

He's just as guilty as his brother, Tamerlan, IMO.
