Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Jury Trial - discussion *GUILTY*

[YESorNO]

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 2h 2 hours ago
Good morning from courtroom 9...
Day 14 of #Tsarnaev trial about to start. Prosecutors very close to wrapping their case.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 1h 1 hour ago
#Tsarnaev is in court for the 14th day of his trial. He's sitting at defense table talking with Judy Clarke @NECN

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 2h 2 hours ago
#Tsarnaev enters court, rubbing hands together, head down.
Takes seat at defense table, chatty.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1h 1 hour ago
We begin with witness FBI's David McCollam, a chemist and forensics examiner.
#Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1h 1 hour ago
McCollam is not an FBI agent, but rather a scientist/forensic examiner who analyzes explosives; chemistry background.
#Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 1h 1 hour ago
The government's first witness of the day is David McCollam, a chemist forensic examiner with the FBI @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 1h 1 hour ago
McCollam says he and his team analyzed approximately 300 pieces of evidence in the Boston Marathon bombings case @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1h 1 hour ago
McCollam: We can test for "pretty much anything" in the world of explosives.
He says he's tested thousands of samples in hundreds of cases.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1h 1 hour ago
McCollam coordinated FBI lab efforts as all the marathon bombing evidence arrived at HQ; about 300 pieces of evidence, he says.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1h 1 hour ago
McCollam: there are high and low explosives. High=military grade. Low=things like black powder from fireworks.
#Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 1h 1 hour ago
McCollam says explosives are classified into 2 groups - low & high @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 1h 1 hour ago
McCollam: high explosives react faster than the speed of sound, while low explosives react slower than the speed of sound @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 1h 1 hour ago
McCollam says high explosives can be military grade explosives, low explosives can be flares, fireworks @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1h 1 hour ago
A low explosive, he says, can be ignited with a small flame or fuse; high explosives need more.
#Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1h 1 hour ago
McCollam: a "low explosive" will just burn/smoke, unless it's put into a container. Then, pressure builds and quickly forces an explosion.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1h 1 hour ago
McCollam: Low explosives can react within fractions of a second.
#Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 1h 1 hour ago
McCollam: to react low explosives need an oxidizer like a match; high explosives need a shock wave like a detonator @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 1h 1 hour ago
McCollam: high explosives have a black cloud, low explosives release gas & energy to create white cloud @NECN #Tsarnaev

 

[YESorNO]

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1h 1 hour ago
McCollam: After a blast, we look for residues, microscopic materials that can be left behind. Can tell what explosive was used.
#Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 1h 1 hour ago
McCollam says they do a post-blast analysis to try to determine what explosive was used to cause the blast @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 1h 1 hour ago
McCollam: harder to determine what brand created a low explosive vs. a high explosive blast like TNT where there's residue @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 1h 1 hour ago
McCollam says he determined both marathon explosions & Watertown blasts had residue consistent with pyrotechnic or fireworks @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1h 1 hour ago
McCollum now reviews overhead diagram of Boylston St.
Residues from both blast sites were from a pyrotechnic/firework.
#Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1h 1 hour ago
McCollam: the pressure cookers/pipe bombs (used & unused) from Watertown were also firework/pyrotechnic flash powder materials.
#Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 1h 1 hour ago

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 1h 1 hour ago
McCollam says his team doesn't determine *how much* of an explosive was used but *what* was used @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1h 1 hour ago
McCollam: U need a lot of commercially-available black powder to get substantial explosion; dozens of big fireworks, he estimates.
#Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1h 1 hour ago
Jurors now seeing evidence pics of disassembled fireworks found in #Tsarnaev's rooms/backpack.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 1h 1 hour ago
McCollam is explaining this fireworks evidence found in the Crapo landfill @NECN #Tsarnaev

 

[YESorNO]

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 1h 1 hour ago
McCollam says you would need dozens of those types of fireworks for a pound of pyrotechnic powder @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1h 1 hour ago
McCollam: you'd need hundreds of these small fireworks (roman candles, etc) to get a lb of powder; most items have milligrams only.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1h 1 hour ago
McCollam: it's a fairly dirty process to extract this powder from fireworks and put it into an explosive.
#Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1h 1 hour ago
McCollam: Even w/ gloves, almost impossible not to get some powder residue on u. For "black powder" it's little pellets, easier to keep off

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 1h 1 hour ago
McCollam says it would be difficult to work with this pyrotechnic powder and not get powder on you, even wearing gloves @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 60m 60 minutes ago
McCollam: I do not, based on our analysis, think we can tell where these bombs were built.
#Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 60m 60 minutes ago
McCollum says he also analyzed the Rubbermaid container found with powder in it in Watertown @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 54m 54 minutes ago
Watkins: you tested "a whole lot of items" in this case, didn't you?
McCollam: That's correct.
#Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 53m 53 minutes ago
Watkins shows court a photo of the latex gloves he 1st produced yesterday; he said they were Tamerlan's.
#Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 52m 52 minutes ago
McCollam says the residue on the latex gloves was common with firework residue @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 48m 48 minutes ago

Back from break, jurors see a photo of a badly damaged electronic speed controller @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 53m 53 minutes ago
Knapp says the speed controller acted as a switch in the fusing system of the device. @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 58m 58 minutes ago
Jury seeing some of a model-car electronic speed controller (wires, fuses); used as the bomb's fusing switch, Knapp testifies.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 56m 56 minutes ago
Knapp: You can see connections to battery, receiver.
Next, a circuit board; the leads off the controller to the detonator.
#Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 56m 56 minutes ago
Knapp says 2 outputs on speed controller normally connect to RC car motor were connected to an "improvised initiator" @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 55m 55 minutes ago
Knapp says in this case the improvised initiator was a green Christmas tree light bulb @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 57m 57 minutes ago
Knapp: part of this bomb was a bulb from a strand of xmas lights (remember we saw one such strand in #Tsarnaev apartment yesterday).

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 56m 56 minutes ago
The xmas tree lightbulb was the initiator that set off the "low explosive charge" Knapp tells jurors.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 51m 51 minutes ago
Knapp: RC car's controller was connected to the xmas tree bulb; it set off the bomb. (He is explaining in technical language how it worked)

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 55m 55 minutes ago
Knapp says an RC battery was the power source to provide current to the improvised initiator, speed controller & receiver @NECN #Tsarnaev

Knapp explains one needs a toggle switch to "arm" the device @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 50m 50 minutes ago
Knapp: we found remnants of a heavily-damaged "toggle switch" at Scene A; it stops fusing system from exploding until bomber is ready.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 49m 49 minutes ago
Knapp: the green xmas light inside the device lit up for a moment before the bomb would have exploded.
#Tsarnaev

 

[YESorNO]

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 47m 47 minutes ago
Knapp: hobby fuses covered with electrical tape were also found at Scene A; if RC car detonation failed, bombs could have been lit by land.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 46m 46 minutes ago
Knapp explaining that if the devices' remote-controls had failed, the bombs' fuses could have been lit and would've exploded seconds later.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 46m 46 minutes ago
Knapp: The pressure cooker was "criss-crossed" with heavy tape (we saw many many rolls of tape in #Tsarnaev apartment yesterday).

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 47m 47 minutes ago

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 40m 40 minutes ago
Knapp says there was no toggle switch found at the 2nd blast site, but it may not have been needed @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 41m 41 minutes ago
Knapp: In the pressure cooker at scene A: loose BBs, other BBs embedded in sealant material.
Scene B: BBs & small nails, cardboard/duct tape

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 39m 39 minutes ago
Knapp says BBs & cardboard were found at both blast sites, also small nails at 2nd blast site @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 37m 37 minutes ago
Knapp says a "slide switch" would have been used on 2nd device, meaning it would have had to have been re-sealed after that @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 35m 35 minutes ago
Knapp says when device is set off, pressure builds up and fragmented remains spray out from the blast seat 360 degrees @NECN #Tsarnaev

The contents of Tamerlan #Tsarnaev's wallet.

Wondering how he had so much money to spend/send? Why not leave the money for his wife and child. Zubeidat has probably profited even more.

Then, again...

Katherine Russell, who was married to Tamerlan Tsarnaev, is suspected of being the woman who accompanied Tsarnaev to a Macy’s in Boston two months before the April 2013 attack where he bought five pressure cookers – two of which were allegedly used to make the bombs placed at the marathon finish line. In an affidavit to search the Tsarnaev’s home, FBI agents said they were looking for clothing consistent with those seen on a security video at Macy’s.

...“To live in a small apartment and buy five pressure cookers and have all those explosives obviously just does not make sense – something other than cooking was going on,” said former FBI special agent and ABC News consultant Brad Garrett.
