It can be painful to relive something so traumatic, but i think we can handle it better than the citizens of boston. It is going to be difficult to follow, but a good thing in my opinion. Get this over with and get it in the past and start over. The 21yearold has been indicted on 30 charges and could face the Death Penalty. And ethnic check chin chechen, and naturalized citizen, he is the record of carrying out the bomb attacks with his older brother tamerlan , and fatally shooting a Police Officer while on the run.

Thank you for joining us. A lot of americans are completely perplexed as well as coming up short. Why would two brothers who are seemingly embraced as refugees and seem to thrive in American Society go on to attack it . A lot of people will be looking for answers in this trial. They may be looking for answers, but as i think the people who were interviewed in boston said, from the point of view of the American People and even the people of boston, it is sort of been there, done that, its over and we want to put it behind us. The lack of questioning is probably a bad thing in the sense that it doesnt really answer your question, and your question is a valid one. How do we deal with the fact that we might now have enemies within in the United States . This is something americans are not at all accustomed to, the concept that somebody could actually be a enemy of the state an enemy of the state inside the United States. I think it is being glossed over because of the predictions about what will happen at trial and whether he gets the Death Penalty and it will become a corporate drama. Courtroom drama. But at the center of this trial there seems to be at the center of this trial, there seems to be some struggle between the prosecution who wanted to paint him as wanting to reach havoc in the u. S. , and the defensive saying he was brainwashed by his rather. By his brother. The other thing that is important to understand about this is that in no sense compared to what might happen in other countries, in no sense will this be a political trial. This is not about his politics or the United States seeking revenge. The Justice System in the United States is genuinely highly independent and will seek to give this man a fair trial. From there, the prosecution will attempt pretty much everything and the defense will attempt pretty much everything, as you just said also as you just said. This is a very adversarial kind of system. Its not about just finding evidence and then at achieving a judgment. It is about winning a case. Thank you very much, indeed. Thank you.
