What the Dzhokhar Tsarnaev trial is all about

"...The image that will stay with them until testimony resumes Monday, an image that may stay with them the rest of their lives, is Krystle Campbell, dying slowly and painfully, her blood spreading across the sidewalk as her wounded friend Karen Rand McWatters holds her hand and feels it go limp.

And here’s something Dzhokhar Tsarnaev can chew on over the weekend: on Monday, the next time he’s in court, there will be two more doctors ready to testify about what the bomb he left outside the Forum restaurant did to the bodies of 23-year-old Lingzi Lu and 8-year-old Martin Richard...."

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 14h 14 hours ago

Govt has made much of evidence found in #Tsarnaev "bedroom" & apartment; def. claims he was long gone prior to bombings. Judge will decide.

Dr. Lindstrom did the autopsy on Lingzi Lu, the BU grad student who was killed at the Marathon's finish line.
#Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 3h 3 hours ago
Lu's cause of death was blast injuries to the lower extremities. Lindstrom ruled it a homicide.
#Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 3h 3 hours ago
Lindstrom says the cause of Lu's death was "blast injuries" and manner of death was homicide @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 3h 3 hours ago

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 3h 3 hours ago
Lindstrom: Lu's death wasn't immediate, but would have been likely "seconds to minutes".
#Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 3h 3 hours ago
Lindstrom: Lu's injuries "would have been very painful"; included torn flesh and muscle, "gaping lacerations".
#Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 3h 3 hours ago
Lu's legs & thighs bore the brunt of the damage, Lindstrom tells jurors, including tear to femoral artery, which caused her to bleed out.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 3h 3 hours ago
Lindstrom says Lu had gaping injuries to her thighs 6" to 7 1/2" each @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 3h 3 hours ago
Jurors are now seeing photos from Lu's autopsy.
"Again, jurors, these are graphic images," the judge warns.

Just like last week, some jurors study the photos intently; others look for a moment, then look away.
#Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 3h 3 hours ago
One jurors cries softly, gently shaking her head from side to side.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 3h 3 hours ago

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 3h 3 hours ago

1 flying piece of metal "tore into" Lu's purse, in addition to those that flew into her body.
That piece, and another, now on witness stand.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 3h 3 hours ago
Weinreb tries to introduce a piece of evidence, defense asks for a sidebar.
#Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 3h 3 hours ago
We are back:
The issue may have been partially an evidence-numbering problem (of which we've had a few) resulting from large amt of evidence
