Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Jury Trial - discussion *GUILTY*

[YESorNO]

'Gentle Judy's' biggest challenge: Defending the accused Boston Marathon Bomber

"...Her client list is a rogues’ gallery of the vilified and condemned: the Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski; Eric Rudolph, who bombed abortion clinics and the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta; and Susan Smith, the South Carolina mother who strapped her two sons in their car seats and allowed her Mazda to roll into a lake in 1994, drowning them. More recently, Clarke defended Jared Loughner, who shot and killed six people during a 2009 assassination attempt on then-Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords....

“Judy’s gift is that she sees the people she represents as human beings when they are monsters to everyone else,” said David Kaczynski, whose older brother, Ted, is serving a life sentence for crimes he committed as the Unabomber. “She was able to see the humanity in my brother, to find it in spite of the horrible, horrible things he’d done, and it helped to save his life.”..."

Juror 75 is done. Juror 76 is a man who's an architect. Doesn't really use social media, except for work website. @NECN #Tsarnaev

Juror 76 has 10yo son & 6yo daughter: "when what happened involved kids...it's hard for me not to make strong associations" @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 54s 54 seconds ago
Hard to tell if juror 76 is eager to get on jury or if he takes his juror instructions & duty seriously. I think the latter @NECN #Tsarnaev

"Right now, I understand my paternal instincts more than whatever facts may come out of the case," he says.

Juror 76 admits he's uncomfortable serving on this case, concerned about personal & career schedule issues @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong ✔ @JimArmstrongWBZ
76 is very worried about possible sequestration of the jury, financial hardships. Clarke wants to know if that would be a distraction to him

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 46s 47 seconds ago

Milton Valencia @MiltonValencia · 20m 20 minutes ago
Juror 76, an architect, a young guy. Served on a jury before, civil case. Already has opinion that Tsarnaev is guilty.

Juror 76 was seeming like he had pre-determination. Now, he's intrigued by the idea of aggravating/mitigating arguments in penalty phase

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 27s 27 seconds ago
Judge is really trying to explain process to juror 76 so attys can parse out whether he'd use objective or subjective views @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 45s 46 seconds ago
#Tsarnaev seems to be writing or doodling on something as these questions drag on for juror 76 @NECN

Jim Armstrong ✔ @JimArmstrongWBZ
Juror 76 is complex. His nuanced feelings re: guilt & death penalty are puzzling both sides; attys. want to nail him down to a position.

Jim Armstrong ✔ @JimArmstrongWBZ
#76 has been questioned for more than 30 mins.
He's now being asked about friend whose husband ran the marathon that day.

Jim Armstrong ✔ @JimArmstrongWBZ
Prosecutor Weinreb: do you feel better if i tell you this jury won't be sequestered?
76: definitely

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 3m 3 minutes ago
Juror 76 says he wasn't at the marathon because he was at baseball practice with his son. He felt sympathy for friends there @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 2m 2 minutes ago
Juror 76 says with the jury not sequestered it relieves a lot of he concern he has about serving @NECN #Tsarnaev

Milton Valencia @MiltonValencia · 4m 4 minutes ago
Juror 76 getting all kinds of legalese thrown at him, with lawyers explaining process. Said would still have predisposition of guilt/death

Milton Valencia @MiltonValencia · 4m 4 minutes ago
"I happened to be at baseball practice with my son that day, otherwise we would have been at the Marathon."

Milton Valencia @MiltonValencia · 56s 56 seconds ago
"I'm told by the jury clerk that a juror didn't show up today," Judge says. They are trying to contact him now.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 1m 1 minute ago
Juror 76 is done. The next juror did not show up this morning. @NECN #Tsarnaev


Jim Armstrong ✔ @JimArmstrongWBZ
Judge says one juror was a no-show this morning. He's out of contact and staff can't find him....

Milton Valencia @MiltonValencia · 14s 15 seconds ago
So because schedule/summons mixups, we've gone through all the jurors for day, a total of 18. They will argue over em behind closed doors.

Jim Armstrong ✔ @JimArmstrongWBZ
judge says they have "run out" of jurors for now -
18 jurors were questioned today.

Lana Jones @Lanawbz
Last 2 jurors expected for voir dire today in #tsarnaev are not here. One is a no show. The other will be here tommorrow.


Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 38s 38 seconds ago
So apparently the last juror will be back tomorrow morning. They got through 18 jurors today & through 52 jurors so far @NECN #Tsarnaev


Jim Armstrong ✔ @JimArmstrongWBZ
So far, it's day 3 and 52 prospective jurors have been questioned; judge HAD hoped that # would be 120 by now. #Tsarnaev
