On Wednesday, April 8, the jurors in the Boston Marathon Bombing case released their verdict after about 11 hours of deliberation. They found 21-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev guilty of all 30 charges brought against him.

“These were deliberate choices, these were political choices,” said assistant United States attorney Aloke Chakravarty to the jurors. “An eye for eye, you kill us, we kill you, that’s what he said and that’s what he did.”

Tsarnaev pleaded not guilty, but his defense did not deny that he and his older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev (now deceased), were behind the April 15, 2013 bombing that killed 3 people and injured more than 200.

However, his lawyers put forth the argument that Dzhokhar, who was 19 at the time of the bombing, was the puppet of his older brother and shouldn’t share as much of the blame.

17 of the 30 charges brought against Tsarnaev come with a possible death penalty outcome. Some of these charges are related to terrorism, and other charges stemmed beyond the day of the bombing to incidents like the shootout that happened afterward.

Though it doesn't exist in Massachusetts, Tsarnaev could still receive the death penalty due to federal charges. The other possible outcome is life behind bars.
