How many of those witnesses saw the defendant?

Any of them?

The trial was a sham from top to bottom.

I could convict you for orchestrating 9/11 in a trial conducted in this fashion. Step 1: assign you a lawyer who declares you guilty. Done.

Ok, I can deal with that. Release him on the streets of Boston. Just announce it’s happening an hour or two ahead of time.

Even better, make sure it's right around shift change time for the PD, when there's not a uniform to be seen...

My only concern with that plan would be the inevitable fights that would break out over who got the privilege of finishing the POS off.

He should have been executed a day or two after his trial was over.

I have three points.

The first, and most important, is that the right to a fair trial is not something that can be hand-waved away, not if we value it for ourselves.

The second is that the whole thing stinks to high heaven from beginning to end - his CIA uncle, the martial law, the previous relationship between the FBI and the older brother, the involvement of private military contractors in the security, and more.

The third is that the real bombers are still running free somewhere.

So just lock him in a cell 4 ft X 4 ft with Jesus murals on the wall and don’t feed or water him.

They acknowledged his role in the Boston bombing; their defense angle was that the older brother prodded him into it. So you think he and his brother are completely innocent of everything that happened that day, including the killing of Officer Collier.. that it was all perpetrated by someone else?

The first one, I don’t buy the confession. There is overwhelming reason to believe it was coerced, that he was told if he admitted to it he would be spared death.

The note is an obvious fabrication.

His reasoning of why they did what they did, the full text of the message reads:

I’m jealous of my brother who

ha [hole] ceived the reward of jannutul Firdaus (inshallah)

before me. I do not mourn because his soul is

very much alive. God has a plan for each person.

Mine was to hide in his boat and shed some

light on our actions I ask Allah to make me a

shahied (iA) to allow me to return to him and

be among all the righteous people in the highest levels

of heaven.

He who Allah guides no one can misguide

A [hole] bar!

I bear witness that there is no God but Allah

and that Muhammad is his

messenger [hole] r actions came

with [hole] a [hole] ssage and that

is [hole] ha Illalah. The U.S.

Government is killing our innocent

civilians but most of you already

know that. As a M[hole] I can’t

stand to see such evil go unpunished,

we Muslims are one body, you hurt

one you hurt us all, well at least that’s

how Muhammad (pbuh) wanted it to be [hole] ever,

the ummah is beginning to rise/awa [hole]

has awoken the mujahideen, know you are

fighting men who look into the barrel of your

gun and see heaven, now how can you compete

with that. We are promised victory and we

will surely get it. Now I don’t like killing

innocent people it is forbidden in Islam

but due to said [hole] it is allowed.

All credit goes to [hole].

[hole] is the where bullets went through his message after he wrote it.

“didn’t taxpayers already pay a fortune to patch him back together?”

Anything more than it took to get him through interrogation was wasted.

There was NO martial law.

They = who? The assigned defense lawyer who threw the case, arguing in direct contradiction to his plea?

Again, I assign you that lawyer, I have you convicted for 9/11 on these terms, and no matter how absurd it is to you, a jury will agree because they’ll see only one side of the story, which will not be challenged in any way because your representation is working for the prosecution.

I strongly recommend that you look up what the conditions for a fair trial are and compare it to what happened here. There is no resemblance whatsoever.

There was martial law imposed and there is overwhelming evidence thereof. I really have to wonder where some people here are getting their info from.

You think he was set up by Comey? They had video of him placing the backpacks. What, you think he did know why he was placing backpacks or what was in them? The whole family knew how to make bombs. His friends said he told them he knew how to make bombs.

From my notes:

March 2013 – Over dinner, Dzhokhar tells Tazhayakov and Kadyrbayev, he knows how to make a bomb.

April 21, 2013 – Dzhokhar tells FBI the bombs were made in Tamerlan and Katherine’s (age 24) 800 sq ft Cambridge apartment and they upped the original Fourth of July date to the marathon because they finished the bombs early. They were going to detonate the bombs at the Charles River Esplanade celebration. Another site would have been Times Square, NY. That they acted alone and that they learned how to build pressure cooker bombs from an online al Qaeda magazine, Inspire.

Nov. 4, 2014 – Ailina Tsarnaeva, 24, pleaded guilty to misleading a police detective during a counterfeiting investigation, avoiding jail time in an agreement with prosecutors in South Boston Municipal Court. Prosecutors also considered separate charges pending against Tsarnaeva in New York, where she is accused of threatening to “put a bomb” on a perceived romantic rival. “I have people who can go over there and put a bomb on you.” She left the courtroom with a baby.

Mar 4, 2015 – Katherine Russell is suspected of accompanying Tamerlain to Macy’s in Boston two months before bombing to purchase 5 pressure cookers, two of which were allegedly used at the bombing. The bombs were made in their apartment in plain sight of her.

So, to cut to the chase, you believe Tsarnaev is totally innocent of all charges and should be released, correct?

“I really have to wonder where some people here are getting their info from. “

The pics you posted really makes me wonder where you get yours.

Is there a single data point in there that isn’t sourced to Comey’s FBI?

Y’all keep coming up with assertions with no sources.

Time to figure out that fake news didn’t start with Trump’s arrival on scene.

There are hundreds of such pictures if not thousands. I picked one at random. Go ahead and image search “Boston martial law” and you will see many, many, many more.
