BOSTON (AP) — First, the jury was shown large, vibrant pictures of the four people killed in the Boston Marathon bombing and its aftermath. Then prosecutors pulled out the photo they saved for last: Dzhokhar Tsarnaev giving the finger to the security camera in his jail cell.
“This is Dzhokhar Tsarnaev — unconcerned, unrepentant and unchanged,” federal prosecutor Nadine Pellegrini told the jury that will decide whether the 21-year-old former college student should be executed.
The penalty phase in the Boston Marathon bomber’s trial opened in dramatic fashion Tuesday, with prosecutors portraying Tsarnaev as a coldblooded killer and “America’s worst nightmare.”
The government then began trying to drive home the horror of the attack in heartbreaking detail by calling to the stand what is expected to be a long line of witnesses who lost legs or loved ones in the April 15, 2013, bombing.
“I remember hearing just bloodcurdling screams. I just remember looking around, just seeing blood everywhere, sort of like debris falling from the sky,” said Celeste Corcoran, who made her way to the witness stand on two artificial limbs.
She told the jury that the blast hurled her into the air and left her in such excruciating pain that she wanted to die.
William Campbell III, whose 29-year-old sister, Krystle Campbell, died in the bombing, testified that because of a case of mistaken identity, a nurse initially told the family that the young woman was in surgery and would survive. Hours later, they learned from a homicide detective that Krystle had died almost instantly.

His brother made him do it.
The Killing Dzhok’.
So he blew up little children, blew the limbs off of innocent people and caused them to writhe around in agony with their bones exposed as they bleed out, but his flipping off of the camera IS BEYOND THE PALE!
This photo proves he is a monster, ladies and gentlemen of the jury. This photo proves that all of you expecting this mangler to show remorse are ridiculous fools who don't even realize that he would blow your legs off too given the chance...
I’d bet Bambam has more sympathy than everyone here at FR combined for the slime.
Tell his cellmates that back in Tsaranev’s home country giving the finger is code for “I want to get raped by big hairy men”.
yup. Would be glad to club him to death myself.
So this means a retrial since it was prejudicial?
It's incredible to me that anyone would think that his giving the finger to a CCTV camera would add so much as the dot of an "i" to the catalog of his crimes.
He murdered, among several, an eight year old boy, whom he clearly observed as he planted a bomb. If the jury can't sentence him to die for that, how does him shooting the bird to a machine make him less likable?
Absolutely, thanks for posting that.

Agree 100%
Just a feckless immature gesture.
She is. I want her removed from my country.
But I have to be honest and say that even if I needed an organ to save my life, I would not want his in my body. I’d rather go on.
It’s time to send this slaughterer to Hell.
A most powerful post. It shows he and his brother are worse than animals, they’re savages.
Come on, Freepers...this is Assachusetts...they will NOT execute him, they will give him three squares for life. More and more victims of this bombing are going public and are stating that they do NOT want the death penalty for this crime. Savage is right...liberalism IS a mental disease.
