[h=1]Boston Marathon Bombing: Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s Defense Admits ‘It Was Him'[/h]http://abcnews.go.com/US/boston-marathon-bombing-trial-start-today/story?id=29376644

Judy Clarke, a famed attorney who has represented a number of high-profile suspects in the past, began her opening remarks by saying: "It was him."

She said that her team would not attempt to "sidestep" Mr Tsarnaev's guilt in carrying out the "senseless, horribly misguided acts carried out by two brothers".

Instead, she will argue that his elder brother, Tamerlan, was the mastermind of the plot and coerced the younger sibling into being a submissive participant.

Wow. Just wow. Thank you YesorNo for keeping this thread updated with all the tweets!

Thank you YESorNO! That was some heartwrenching testimony today. It boggles my mind how he can plead non-guilty and then admit his guilt within the first hour of the trial.

I don't know that I've ever seen anything like it. Are they going to put on any defense at all? Just blame Tamerlan as much as possible, accept the Guilty verdict, and then try and save his life in the next phase, I suppose.

I really wish the media could see how he's reacting to any of this testimony, if at all. Just boggles my mind how he can just sit there and look at all the horror he caused and not be devastated at what he did.
