And wounded 260. U. S. Attorney general Loretta Lynch called it a fitting punishment for a horrific crime. The jurys decision came after 14 hours of deliberation. Don dahler is at the federal courthouse in boston. Reporter its a city that has been holding its collective breath for this. Yes i think that its justice. Reporter but inside, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev showed little emotion, standing with head bowed as his fate was announced. Federal prosecutors knew they had an uphill battle in massachusetts, a state that has outlawed the Death Penalty in its own cases. Bostons Police Commissioner William Evans you know, not going to blow up our marathon, theyre not going to blow up our city, and theyre not going to inflict any type of terror in our country. I think thats the strong message we sent today. Reporter its likely, this was the critical image for the jury Surveillance Video of tsarnaev placing a deadly Pressure Cooker bomb four feet away from the Richard Family which witnesses said put eightyearold Martin Richard through excruciating agony before he deed as his mother begged him to hold on. All six capital counts that put tsarnaev on death row involved his use of the bomb that killed richards and lingzi lu. The defenses case centered on the argument it was the older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev who made the younger brother commit jihad. Three jurors agreed with the defense the crime would not have happened without the influence of the older brother. Nobody can see into another persons mind. Our job is to try to recognize the facts and the evidence that would help the jury make that decision for themselves. Reporter the defense team admitted tsarnaevs guilt from the beginning but pleaded for mercy. Ultimately, neither that nor his use nor tells of his dizz functional familys nomadic journey swayed the jury. What did sway the jury was the death, the injuries, the maiming of innocent people the callosness with which tsarnaev and his brother conduct third terrorist attack and his utter lack of remorse during the trial. Formal sentencing will take place over the next two months, scott. Tsarnaev will then be transferred to the federal penitentiary in terre haute, indiana, as his defense team mounts an appeal. Pelley don dahler reporting. Don, thanks very much. Now for the reaction from families of tsarnaevs victims were going to go to anna werner. Anna. Reporter scott none of the victims or families who spoke here today said this could be a crd a moment for celebration. There were no winners here today, they said but there was justice, and punishment for tsarnaev. What he tirnd into, obviously, was we know what he turned into. He turned into a monster. Why did that happen . Well never know. I have to watch my two sons put on a leg on every day so, i mean, i dont know, closure. But i can tell you it feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders so i think there is some form of a good feeling. There is nothing happy about having to take somebodys life. Im satisfied. Im grateful. I remember when those bombs went off, and i remember vial, disufght thing that this person did, and his brother. This is nothing to celebrate. This is a matter of justice. Hes going to go to hell. Thats where he wanted to go, but hes going to get there quicker than he thought. Reporter many victims and their families are still dealing with ongoing psychological and physical trauma, but scott one victim said today i feel like i can breathe again. Pelley anna, thank you. This is the first time defense attorney judy clarke has lost a highprofile Death Penalty case. She negotiated plea deals that spared the lives of the Unabomber Ted kaczynski and jared loughner, who killed six people while attempting to assassinate congresswoman gabby giffords. Clarke also persuaded a jury to reject a death sentence for susan smith who drowned her young sons. Rikki kleiman is our cbs news legal analyst. Rikki, the jury seemed to hang on the fact that the defendant showed no remorse. No remorse was in fact an aggravating factor. No remorse because he sat there stoically. He never shed a tear except once when his aunt talked about his childhood. So he felt sorry for himself but apparently the jury found he it not feel anything about all those victims what he did to them creating double amputees, single amputees, as well as the death of four people. Pelley and because the Death Penalty has been imposed there will be an automatic appeal. Indeed, there is an automatic appeal, although there will be a sentencing hearing formally within a couple of months. The appellate process in and of itself, up to the First Circuit court of appeals in boston, is going to begin a process that could take years. Scott, when we look at the word execution in the federal system, went into effect 1998, there have only been three out of 80 people who have been executed in the federal system. There has not been a federal execution since 2003. We have a long way to go. Pelley Rikki Kleiman thank you very much. Now to another breaking story, a surprising revelation this evening. The National Transportation safety board said a projectile appears to have hit the windshield of the amtrak passenger train before it derailed tuesday night killing eight passengers and severely injuring dozens.

Take a close look at this picture. If you look at the windshield there, you can see it is cracked, looks shattered. Thats the damage the f. B. I. Is going to be taking a close look at. Now, the n. T. S. B. s Robert Sumwalt explained late this afternoon, a philadelphia computer train reported being struck by something shortly before the amtrak train derailed. In addition to the engineer, the n. T. S. B. Interviewed two assistant conductors from train 188. One said that shortly after leaving the philadelphia train station, she heard a septa engineer report his train being hit. She recalled that the septa engineer had reported to the train dispatcher that he had either been hit by a rock or shot at and that the septa engineer said that he had a broken windshield, and he placed his train into engineer stop. Reporter she went on to tell investigators she also believed the amtrak train had been hit and sumwalt described a circular part of damage on the lower part of the windshield. This is her recognition and certainly were going to be conducting further investigation of this comment. Our investigation is not independently confirmed this information, but we have seen damage to the the lefthand lower portion of the amtrak windshield that we have asked the f. B. I. To come in and look at for us. Reporter we also learned today that the engineer of the train did meet with n. T. S. B. Investigators. He was cooperative. He reported no issues with the train, no issues with his own health and no fatigue issues but he continued to say he has no recollection of the crash apparently no recollection of the conversation about something striking that septa train. But with this new information and the f. B. I. Coming in, this is a major turn in this investigation. But still, we dont know what caused the amtrak train to accelerate to over 100 miles per hour.
