Important roles to undertake and in our system we ask them to be fair and not prejudge the evidence even in an extraordinary case where so much of the evidence was public and ask them to withhold judgment on what should happen. so first they find the facts and it is a separate second process after they come out and announce today as to whether, if they find convictions on the capital charges, which is widely expected then does this person merit the death penalty and the question they are asked t...

That process and theyre done now. >> when we talk about the questions that the jury came back with they asked about whether or not a conspiracy can pertain to either a sequence of events or a single effect. so they were getting very specific about what that meant, especially in accordance with the timeline of what we know transpired at the boston marathon and to the watertown events, everything in between. >> well i think the focus was also on that two-month period prior to the marathon the febr...

Using using using islamic law. how is this working? >> we need to point out this is not a true court. that would obviously be illegal. we have our own judicial system in place that has been established. but this is an islamic tribunal and leaders consist of three emoms and a doctor of study. they are not attorneys and sever mediation and arbitration laws. divorces make up the primary case load because like the catholic church religious factors are at play and clergy has to be involved in such. >...

Choke sitting in the courtroom -- dzhokhar tsarnaev. sifting there in the courtroom according to all the reports willfully put the backpack behind a group of small children. the big question, doug, in this case whether dzhokhar tsarnaev all along had intention and motive and wanted to carry this out because that could equate to the death penalty for him, yes? >> absolutely. the defense did a surprising but at the same time sophisticated gambit in the opening because they painted with two brushes...
