Adam Reilly ‏@reillyadam 39s40 seconds ago
Dzhokhar looks more stress-free than usual as we wait for the defense's cross. Slouched to the left, tapping the desk. Mellow. #tsarnaev

We're back and so is #Tsarnaev, looking none too happy.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 55s 56 seconds ago
"We've heard words, we've heard screams, and we've heard cries" Clarke says, over the last few weeks.
#Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 26s 27 seconds ago
"There is no excuse. No one is trying to make one. Planting bombs at the Boston Marathon...was a senseless act."

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 22s 22 seconds ago
Defense atty Judy Clarke: "we have come face to face with tragedy, suffering & grief" @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 53s 53 seconds ago
"Dzhokhar #Tsarnaev followed his brother down Boylston Street" and put a backpack down, knowing it would explode.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 26s 26 seconds ago
Clarke: #Tsarnaev also took Dun Meng's ATM card, stole money.

Adam Reilly ‏@reillyadam 48s48 seconds ago
Dzhokhar placed the bomb at the Forum, Clarke says. And he was there when Tamerlan shot Sean Collier. #Tsarnaev

Jared Pliner ‏@JaredPliner 47s47 seconds ago
Clarke says Tamerlan murdered Sean Collier. Dzhokhar was right there with him. Dzhokhar followed in carjacking. #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 19s 20 seconds ago
"He hurled explosives at the police..."
"He ran to the Mercedes and escaped...and he ran over his older brother, the brother that he loved."

Clarke: "planting bombs at the marathon 1 year & 51 weeks ago was a a senseless act" @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 3s 3 seconds ago
Clarke: even though we agreed about the who, what, when & where, we very much disagreed about the why @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1m 1 minute ago
Clarke: "Dzhokhar Tsarnaev stands ready by your verdict to be held responsible for his actions."

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1m 1 minute ago
Clarke: we agree with the who, what, when and where, "but not with the why".
#Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 33s 34 seconds ago
Clarke: It "is simply not true" that #Tsarnaev self-radicalized.
The evidence is Tamerlan built bombs and Tamerlan killed Collier.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 7s 8 seconds ago
Clarke: Tamerlan alone talked to Dun Meng, you remember that.
Tamerlan led, and Jahar followed.

Laurel J. Sweet @Laurel_Sweet · 1m 1 minute ago
Clarke, as expected, calls Tamerlan #Tsarnaev "the brother that he loved, the brother that he followed."

#Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 27s 27 seconds ago

Laurel J. Sweet @Laurel_Sweet · 16s 16 seconds ago
"in the past few weeks we have come face to face with tragedy, suffering and grief in dimensions none of us thought was possible."#Tsarnaev

Adam Reilly ‏@reillyadam 54s55 seconds ago
Those instructions weren't on Dzhokhar's laptop, Clarke adds. On to the pressure cookers. "Of *course* Tamerlan bought them." #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 21s 21 seconds ago
Clarke now shows jurors the GPS data coordinating with the pressure cooker purchases, alleging "it had to be Tamerlan" @NECN #Tsarnaev

Adam Reilly ‏@reillyadam 1m1 minute ago
Clarke down in the weeds, pretty quickly, on evidence of Dzhokhar's alleged lack of involvement. Halting. #Tsarnaev

ared Pliner ‏@JaredPliner 2m2 minutes ago
Clarke says Govt. is wrong when it says Tamerlan might have bought the cookers -- he did indeed. And Dzhokhar was in Dartmouth #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 34s 34 seconds ago
Clarke: "Tamerlan bought the BBs that were loaded in the bombs" @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 58s 59 seconds ago
Clarke: Tamerlan bought the radio-controlled car, transmitter, batteries.
"Tamerlan bought those."
And the BBs, she says.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · now
Clarke is referencing the govt's own GPS-based maps that the jury already saw, showing (what they say is) Tamerlan driving alone.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1m 1 minute ago
Clarke shows this note from Tamerlan's wallet, showing the NH WalMarts he visited.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 52s 53 seconds ago
Look at this pressure cooker lid, Clarke says. Only Tamerlan's prints are here too.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 2m 2 minutes ago
Clarke: There was no explosive residue in Dzhokhar's dorm room, where he lives.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 2m 2 minutes ago
"Let's be honest about what the evidence actually shows. We are not asking you to excuse the conduct."

@Tsarnaev defense: "The evidence is that Tamerlan built the bombs, Tamerlan murdered Officer Collier. Tamerlan led and Dzhokhar followed,

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 55s 56 seconds ago
What does any of this matter if we know #Tsarnaev carried the bomb down Boylston?

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 42s 43 seconds ago
It matters because you are entitled to know the full picture, Clarke says.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1m 1 minute ago
"We don't deny that Jahar fully participated in these events. But if not for Tamerlan" they would not have happened. - Clarke

Clarke: The govt. wants you to see this picture to suggest Dzhokhar self-radicalized; it's just a religious flag.

 

[katydid23]

What does any of this matter if we know #Tsarnaev carried the bomb down Boylston?


This^^^^^ is the smartest thing the DT has said. :yes:

 

[YESorNO]

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 56s 57 seconds ago
Clarke says even the govt's own witness testified the flag was religious, not a terrorist flag @NECN #Tsarnaev

Bob Ward Fox25 ‏@Bward3 1m1 minute ago

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 3m 3 minutes ago
Clarke now reviewing #Tsarnaev Twitter postings - suggesting his "sleep vs' breakfast" tweets are those of "a typical teenager" from 4/2012

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 51s 51 seconds ago
Clarke: #Tsarnaev's tweets that seem ominous came from rap lyrics, from comedians, from poems.
That's not a jihadi in the making, she says.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 2m 2 minutes ago
Clarke goes through Dzhokhar's tweets again, points out they were quotes from rap songs, not jihadi propaganda @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 55s 56 seconds ago

#Tsarnaev

 

[YESorNO]

Laurel J. Sweet @Laurel_Sweet · 3m 3 minutes ago
#Tsarnaev, 19 when he committed the #BostonMarathonBombing, "was an adolescent kid doing adolescent things," Clarke argues.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 5s 5 seconds ago
Clarke: The #Tsarnaev computers were used by everyone in that family; why assume Dzhokhar downloaded these controversial things?

Bob Ward Fox25 ‏@Bward3 59s59 seconds ago
Clarke: multiple users on Cambridge desktop. Don't know why Govt says Dzhokhar accessed, not Tam, they don't know #fox25 #tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 4s 4 seconds ago
Clarke says the govt's assertion today that #Tsarnaev accessed jihadi material over Christmas 2012 makes no sense, there's no evidence @NECN

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 30s 30 seconds ago
Clarke: let's talk about after the bombings; #Tsarnaev went to the gym. "That is bizarre," she admits

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 8s 8 seconds ago
As the boat writings suggest, #Tsarnaev thought his brother was right, Clarke says.

 

[katydid23]

Having her talk about him doing 'kids stuff' on FB just makes me angrier. Does not make me sympathetic towards him.

 

[YESorNO]

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1m 1 minute ago
Clarke reaches for the government's own closing exhibit, that giant posterboard of the transcribed boat note.
#Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 14s 15 seconds ago
Clarke: You've seen the boat, his blood everywhere. What does this 19 year old do? He tries to explain what they did and why they did it.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · now
Clarke: "He doesn't write, curse to America" or anything else you might think a violent jihadist would write.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 21s 22 seconds ago
