"This is nothing to celebrate. This is justice," said first-responder Michael Ward. “He wanted to go to hell and he’s gonna get there early."
The verdict against Tsarnaev, who'll turn 22 in July, was announced by U.S. District Court Judge George A. O'Toole Jr.'s courtroom clerk Paul Lyness. Tsarnaev showed no emotion as the verdict was read.
Marathon bombing survivor Adrianne Haslet-Davis, who lost a third of her left leg in the bombing, told the Herald she's "happy with the verdict."
"My heart goes out to everyone in the survivor community and to the victims' families," she added. "It's still a lot to process right now."
Only three of the 12 jurors bought into the defense argument that Tsarnaev was influenced by his older brother Tamerlan. The jurors unanimously agreed that Tsarnaev showed no remorse for the marathon attack and its aftermath that killed four young people, maimed 17 and injured hundreds.
The jurors unanimously voted to put him to death for the week of terror.

Anne Stevenson states, "we hope that Jahar has a road to redemption while he’s behind bars, which includes education and social interactions with others who can help him give peace to those he hurt." Stevenson arrogantly speaks for others, but does not reveal what children value the convicted mass murderer's life, as hinted in the headline. America granted him and his family asylum from an oppressive nation, showered them with gifts, gave them freedom. The brothers showed their gratitude by killing people who did him no harm. American veterans live in shelters and on the streets. What values are promoted by this essayist?
