the deaths of lingzi lu and martin richard, unanimous, death. count nine bombing a public place resulting in the same deaths. unanimous, death. but in all of these three counts it doesn t refer to the death of sean collier, nor does it refer to the death of krystle campbell who was near the finish line and that s where tamerlan the older brother, dropped his bomb and it s very very interesting, because, you know we re trying to get a sense of whether any of the jurors bought the arguments made by the defense that if not for tamerlan none of this would have happened. it appears at least three jurors don t know which, don t know if they were the same at least three jurors believed that yes, if it were not for tamerlan this would not have happened that dzhokhar the younger brother, was susceptible to his brother, his personality and everything else about him and also it was done under tamerlan s influence. three jurors absolutely finding, yes, those mitigating factors
restaurant. the bomb that killed martin richard, killed lingzi lu they also found that he was involved in the death of krystle campbell and officer sean collier, but for the most part it appears at first glance that yeah that s exactly what they did. they were able to isolate those capital counts that they thought he should be put to death for, jake. and martin richard s family martin richard, the 8-year-old the innocent young boy so brutally murdered by the tsarnaevs that day, his family made it clear, i believe, deb, they did not support the death penalty, that was not something they were seeking. what was their reaction in the courtroom today? reporter: so interesting you mention that jake because they did. they wrote and op-ed basically saying no. send him to life in prison. we don t want to hear his name ever again. you put him to death, the process is dragged out, updates on the status filings, what they decide to do but they were
with the pressure cooker bomb inside it right behind that 8-year-old boy and the crowd, the richard family and others even those three jurors that well he did that on his own. that s right, and it s a pretty sophisticated reading of the evidence, i think, and likely i think, something that will help the government to sustain this verdict on appeal. this sometimes, jurors simply throw the book. we don t want to hear the evidence. we re going to find anything we can against this defendant, we re going to do that. this jury obviously made a very careful study of the evidence. for example, they did not sentence him to death in connection with the murder of officer collier. as horrible as that is. that is not why this death sentence imposed. it was imposed for the very specific reason that dzhokhar tsarnaev on his own without anyone standing over him, put that bomb near the finish line and had and then it went off.
the issue of pretrial publicity in oklahoma city. and that was one of the precedents that tsarnaev s lawyers argued so strenuously for a change of venue in this case. so i don t think it is out of the question that this case could be overturned on appeal but it is important to remember that most cases are not overturned on appeal. and the overwhelming likelihood at this point is that he will be put to death. jeff toobin stay with me. i think at this moment i want to put some pictures up on the screen as i know we re all looking at dzhokhar tsarnaev s face but let s remember those lives lost on that day in april, april 15th 2013. the first three. krystle campbell martin richard, lingzi lu sean
