Death Or Life?

I heard they only reached a verdict on the first count. Now I'm confused.

No, the first ten - which all carry the possibility of death. Perhaps more by now.

I'm not a fan of the death penalty, but there are cases such as this in which I think the death penalty is appropriate. The Timothy McVeigh case was another one.

DZHOKHAR TSARNAEV CONVICTED IN BOSTON MARATHON BOMBING

BOSTON (AP) -- Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (joh-HAHR' tsahr-NEYE'-ehv) has been convicted in the 2013 bombing of the Boston Marathon.

A federal jury found Tsarnaev guilty Wednesday in the 2013 terror attack that killed three people and wounded more than 260. He kept his hands folded in front of him and looked down at the defense table as the guilty verdicts were read.

The jury will now decide whether the 21-year-old former college student should be sentenced to death or receive life in prison.

Tsarnaev's conviction was widely expected, given his lawyer's startling admission during opening statements that he took part in the bombing. But the lawyer also argued that Tsarnaev's older brother, Tamerlan, masterminded the attack and enlisted his then-19-year-old brother to help.
