Debate over sentence of Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev

  • 9 years ago
A guilty verdict by a US court in the trial of the man accused of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing has produced relief in some and mixed feelings in others over his sentence.

Twenty-one-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was convicted of all 30 charges that he faced , many of which carry the death penalty.

After the verdict, Karen Brassard, a survivor of the bombing, gave her reaction:

“We are all going to move on with our lives and we are all going to get back to some sense of normality, hopefully, when this is all done. So, closure, I guess I don’t think so , only because it’s forever part of our lives.”

Euronews spoke to others, asking them what they thought of the verdict:

“I think the right decision was reached. The guy is guilty as hell. And as far as where the trial proceeds from here.. I don-t know if I have an opinion
