In reply to the discussion: It's HIM--Body (or BLOOD--conflicting report) found in boat in Watertown backyard on Franklin Street [View all]freshwest
(53,661 posts)76. High profile case, international interest: he'll get more consideration than you or I would.
An insanitydefense may be what his lawyers are going to try for him. I look forward to hearing the why but am not interested in the how of any of it at this point. Plenty of witnesses. Multiple fixed and moving videos from before and after the act at the marathon, and during escape.
Don't worry, he will have many supporters making their voices heard no matter what he did or didn't do. Boston is known for strong civil rights advocates and attorneys. A close friend specialized in civil and criminal rights cases of the unpopular and won.
So it won't be 'refreshing' for him to get a 'fair trial' there, anymore than it was inevitable this was a conspiracy to frame these two. When you wrote: He'll be dead by the time it's over There will be no questioning and the media will own the narrative of this entire episode, that's how the CTers will push this.
Sorry about the capitals, as I wan't yelling, but typing it in multiple places and thought you'd be happy, as I am that he was alive and would get his day in court. If you think he would be killed or not get a fair trial as a matter of course, what is your solution to the issue of stopping the bombers?
This is real event, real people are dead and maimed for life. It really happened, not a movie. Not everything in life or media fits a set narrative, although I don't believe national media, after they sensationalized this and got Muslims assaulted.
