Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 2h 2 hours ago

#Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 2h 2 hours ago
Judge says to find that #Tsarnaev should be sentenced to death jurors need to determine that he was 18yrs or older... @NECN

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 2h 2 hours ago
Jurors also need to find that #Tsarnaev 1) intentionally killed the victims, or 2) intentionally inflicted serious bodily harm... @NECN

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 2h 2 hours ago
...or 3) intentionally participated in acts where a person's life could be taken... @NECN #Tsarnaev

Judge says "this is not a mechanical process" says jurors should assess each factor "qualitatively" @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 2h 2 hours ago

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1h 1 hour ago
Judge and jury return.
Govt calls William Campbell, III -- the brother of victim Krystle Campbell.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1h 1 hour ago
Campbell looks like his sister, Krystle.
He is older than her by 2 years.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 1h 1 hour ago
Campbell: "We were friends, more than brother and sister."

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 59m 59 minutes ago
Campbell tells jurors about playing games with Krystle as kids, fighting over the remote control; says she was honest and kind.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 59m 59 minutes ago
Campbell: Krystle was a harder worker than I ever was, from schoolwork to her career. She accomplished her goals.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 58m 58 minutes ago
Campbell: My sister paid her own way through college, figured out her financial aid and held jobs since she was 14 years old.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 56m 56 minutes ago
Campbell explains how he and sister like to dance; she was into sports as well. "She was just the centerpiece."

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 56m 56 minutes ago
Campbell has a son, now 6, who Krystle loved, he says. She was a great aunt, he explains.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 54m 54 minutes ago
Campbell: My favorite memory of her is more of a feeling; I just always knew I had someone there for me when I was with her.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 54m 54 minutes ago
The last time he saw his sister was the Saturday before the marathon; they went shopping at the Square One Mall in Saugus.
#Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 54m 54 minutes ago
On that Monday, he heard about the bombings and "had a mini panic attack" and tried to call her. No answer.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 54m 54 minutes ago
A nurse calls him back, from his sister's phone, to tell him Krystle was among the victims.
#Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 53m 53 minutes ago
At first, nurses tell him that his sister is ok, and will recover.
Hours later they learn that was a mistake; his sister was dead.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 53m 53 minutes ago
Krystle's ID was confused for a while with that of her friend Karen Rand who was at the marathon with her.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 46m 46 minutes ago
This series of candids, like the 1 we're now seeing w/ Krystle & her nephew, are to humanize victims, as Pellegrini promised govt. would.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 46m 46 minutes ago
Krystle's brother tells these short, wonderful stories about her, keeps making courtroom laugh and smile, including jurors.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 45m 45 minutes ago

That's what bothers me more than anything - lack of remorse. He doesn't feel a damn thing about the victims and couldn't even fake it to cover his own arse in court. JMO

Me too Racheallouise...and while its not very Christian of me, I wish we could do something to just make him realize the pain he caused. I want to see him shed his defiance out of fear/pain. I want him to beg for his life and then be told he will get the dp.
