Tsarnaev Guilty On All 30 Counts In Boston Marathon Bombing [VIDEO]
The jury in the Boston Marathon bombing trial has returned a verdict.
FOX News Radio’s Tonya J. Powers has more from Boston:
Guilty on all 30 counts — that’s the decision of the jury in the trial of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
He planted one of the bomb-filled backpacks near the finish line of the Boston Marathon, killing Lingzi Lu, Krystle Campbell and eight-year-old Martin Richard. More than 260 others were hurt, many losing limbs in that explosion.
The verdict comes almost two years after the bombings on April 15, 2013.
Now, the same jury that found Tsarnaev guilty will serve in the penalty phase – deciding whether he gets life in prison or the death penalty.
There’s no word yet on when that phase will begin.

“I am thankful that this phase of the trial has come to an end and am hopeful for a swift sentencing process. I hope today’s verdict provides a small amount of closure for the survivors, families, and all impacted by the violent and tragic events surrounding the 2013 Boston Marathon. The incidents of those days have forever left a mark on our City.
