An acquaintance has testified that Tamerlan Tsarnaev (TAM’-ehr-luhn tsahr-NEYE’-ehv) criticized the U.S. government’s actions abroad about four months before the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings.
Robert Barnes spoke Monday during the penalty phase of the federal trial of Tamerlan’s younger brother, Dzhokhar (joh-HAHR’). Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has been convicted of all 30 charges against him, and the jury will now decide whether he should be executed for his crimes.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev died days after the April 15, 2013, bombings following a gun battle with police.
Barnes says he and Tamerlan spoke in December 2012 at a pizzeria in Cambridge. Barnes says Tamerlan was “very passionate” in his criticisms.
He says Tamlerlan became aggressive when another man criticized Tsarnaev’s religion for how it treated women. Barnes says Tamerlan poked him in the chest.

One of the first defense witnesses to testify in the penalty phase of Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s (joh-HAHR’ tsahr-NEYE’-ehvz) trial has described an incident at a mosque when his older brother, Tamerlan, became angry and interrupted prayer services.
Imam Loay Assaf testified Monday that Tamerlan Tsarnaev got very angry during one service in 2013 when Assaf praised Martin Luther King Jr. and compared him to the Prophet Muhammad.
Assaf says Tamerlan interrupted the service, shouting at him and calling him a “hypocrite.”

Jurors will decide whether Dzhokhar deserves life in prison or execution for his crimes.
The defense is hoping to show that Tamerlan was more radicalized than Dzhokhar and more responsible for the attacks.

A lawyer for Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev says a photo of him flipping his middle finger at a security camera in a jail cell was the work of an “immature 19-year-old.”
Attorney David Bruck addressed the photo Monday in his opening statement of the penalty phase of Tsarnaev’s federal trial.
The photo caused a sensation last week when prosecutors showed it to the jury that will decide whether Tsarnaev lives or dies. The images were taken three months after the April 2013 marathon bombings killed three people and injured more than 260 others.
Prosecutors told the jury the photo showed an “unconcerned, unrepentant and unchanged” Tsarnaev.
Bruck tried to downplay the photo, saying all it meant was “that he was acting like an immature 19-year-old.”

A lawyer for Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is focusing heavily on Tsarnaev’s late older brother, saying he led the 2013 bombing plot and provided the fuel to drive the plan.
Attorney David Bruck worked to pin much of the blame on Tamerlan Tsarnaev in his opening statement Monday. Jurors have convicted Dzhokhar Tsarnaev of all 30 charges against him and will decide whether he lives or dies.
Bruck says 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev was loud and aggressive, got into fights and failed at everything he did. He says 21-year-old Dzhokhar was a good student in high school, beloved by his teachers, and he never got into a fight.
Bruck says Dzhokhar was a “good kid.”

A lawyer for Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is urging the jury to send him to prison for the rest of his life, saying, “There is no point in trying to hurt him as he hurt because it can’t be done.”
Attorney David Bruck gave opening statements Monday in the penalty phase of Tsarnaev’s trial for the 2013 attacks. Jurors will decide whether Tsarnaev should spend the rest of his life in prison or should be sentenced to death.
Bruck says there’s no punishment Tsarnaev can receive that would be equal to the suffering of the victims. He says, “There is no evening the scales.”
Three people were killed and more than 260 others were injured in the twin bombings.
