Boston Marathon bomber found guilty

BOSTON – Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has been found guilty in all 30 charges he faced.

The verdict was reached Wednesday afternoon after a little over 12 hours of deliberations over two days.

Tsarnaev’s lawyers admitted he participated in the bombings, but said his now-dead older brother was the driving force behind the 2013 deadly attack.

The trial will move on to a second phase to decide whether he should receive the death penalty or spend the rest of his life in prison. That part could start early next week.

Three people were killed and more than 260 were injured when twin pressure-cooker bombs exploded near the marathon finish line on April 15, 2013.
