As defense begins redirect, prosecution objects, asks for brief sidebar. @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1h 1 hour ago
Watkins is back up.

After sidebar def. gets Graff to agree it's more likely to find prints on a porous item like
cardboard b/c it absorbs sweat @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1h 1 hour ago
Watkins: you got Tamerlan's prints off the Boylston St. cardboard, even after the explosions, right?

So.

That's it? That was all from the "great, marvelous defense team"?

I got nothing from the defense to spare DT.

Where are all the psychologist experts who will opine about brainwashing of young people????

Experts about how DT will be a model prisoner and has "worth" as a person???

Pfttt and

Hmmmm :thinking:

I'm wasn't expecting much from the defense team in this phase as they're limited in what they can put forward regarding Tamerlan and how he was the influence etc but I expected more than 4 witnesses. The defense will need to pull out all the stops in the penalty phase.

The 13th Juror: What defense?

'...In the penalty phase, prosecutors will present evidence of aggravating factors that make this crime especially heinous, and they are likely to call bombing victims to give emotionally compelling victim impact testimony.

The defense will finally get to tell its story. There are few clues in the court file as to what that might be, but Tsarnaev's lawyers are almost certain to delve into his family history...."

Getting ready for #Tsarnaev closing arguments: Mon, 4/6
After closings, Judge O'Toole will instruct jurors on applicable/relevant law.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · Apr 3
Each side proposes its own "jury instructions".
Government's = 47 pages

#Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · Apr 3
Each side also offers up their proposed "Verdict Form" for jurors to fill out.
Government's = 30 pages
Defense's = 9 pages
#Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · Apr 3
To be clear, the defense's 11 pages are largely suggested amendments to the government's proposals. The Jury Instructions will be lengthy.
