Wmur s amy coveno was in the courtroom this morning and she joins us live in the studio with why the defense thinks their client should be acquitted. Amy the appeals process is frustrating to many people because we have a defendant whose attorneys first words to the jury were. you have the right guy. But in Death Penalty cases the appeals process is automatic and experts say will likely drag on for ten years. The defense team is relying on a 2013 Supreme Court decision. The socalled johnson clause mandates that crimes of violence meet specific criteria of physical force. Toole 15 of the 30 counts against their client fail the crimes of violence test and should be tossed out. The defense asked the court to give their client a new sentencing proceeding one that , takes the Death Penalty off the table. There, in fact, will be many appeals although legal experts tell newsnine tsarnaev does have the right and power to withdraw appeals and submit to the penalty that s been imposed as in the case of the Oklahoma City bombing, when Timothy Mcveigh withdrew his appeals and was eventually executed.
