[Ranchgirl]

Thank you Yes/No for the tweets. Lots of work by you. Greatly appreciated. So sad.

 

[jojo87]

Interesting the searches on Katherine Tsarnaeva computer. I can't understand why she hasn't been charged in this case. I will never believe she didn't know and help with the planning of the bombing.
The defense isn't really working for me right now. I would need to hear evidence that Dzhokhar was heavily influenced and afraid of his brother. All I'm getting is the vague inference that he looked up to him. I look up to my sister but if she suggested bombing the Belfast Marathon I'd say no to that.
YesorNo you are a superstar. Thank you for the tweets.
