Excerpt
SUMMARY: In the second week of the Boston Marathon bombing trial, jurors heard emotional testimony from a victim who lost both legs and the FBI presented stitched-together surveillance video tracing the suspect’s path to and from the bombing. Hari Sreenivasan talks to Emily Rooney of WGBH about a note scrawled by Dzhokhar Tsarnaev while he was hiding from authorities in a boat.
JUDY WOODRUFF (NewsHour): This was an eventful week in the trial of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who is charged with the Boston Marathon bombings of 2013. He’s facing 30 federal charges, 17 of which carry the death penalty.
Hari Sreenivasan in our New York studios has an update.
HARI SREENIVASAN (NewsHour): The week started off with testimony from victims and their families. It also included revelations for the first time of a full message that a wounded Tsarnaev scrawled on a bullet-riddled boat just before he was caught by a manhunt. And the trial showed off new surveillance video from the day of the attacks on Boylston Street.
Emily Rooney of WGBH-Boston has been covering the trial, joins me again tonight.
Is started out with some emotional testimony this week. Who did you hear from?
EMILY ROONEY, WGBH News: We did, Hari.
The person we heard from that really stuck out in everybody’s mind was a young woman named Jessica Kensky. She came into court wearing a skirt. You could see two stumps coming out from underneath the skirt. It’s the first time that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev recognized anybody. He’s been completely disengaged, doesn’t look to the witness box, which is only about eight feet to his right.
