Dzhokhar tsarnaev faces dozens of charges ranging from four counts of murder to using a weapon of mass destruction. The evidence against him includes eyewitnesses and Surveillance Video which allegedly put him and his brother at the scene. Forensic evidence as well as statements which prosecutors say implicate him. The defense has implied in Court Documents and motions it plans to show tsarnaev was under the psychological control of his older brother tamerlan. Cbs legal analyst rikki klieman.

New york city said farewell and thank you sunday to Police Officer wenjian liu. His funeral came more than two weeks after liu and his partner were murdered in their patrol car. Once again, many mourners in uniform used the occasion to show their anger toward mayor bill de blasio. Elaine quijano is outside the funeral home in brooklyn that held the service. Elaine, good morning. Reporter good morning. The funeral held here was the first to be held for a chineseamerican nypd officer killed in the line of duty, but as with the services for officer rafael ramos last week, tension between the police and the mayor bubbled over. They came by the thousands, officers from across the city and the country standing in the rain to honor wenjian liu. For the second time in eight days, the new York Police Department said goodbye to one of their own. Mayor bill de blasio praised liu as a good man. He walked a path of courage, a path of sacrifice, and a path of kindness. This is who he was. Reporter but as he spoke, some Police Officers outside the funeral home turned their backs. A thick blue line of discontent, ignoring a warning issued by nypd commissioner william bratton. A heros funeral is about grieving, not grievance, bratton wrote in a memo. When you don the uniform of this department, you are bound by the tradition, honor and decency that goes with it. Retired nypd officer walter litty says police are united by a special brotherhood. When you feel that you dont have the support of the people that really should have your backs, the people in government, that bond gets that much stronger. Not every officer took part in the snub but the scene was similar to one last weekend at the funeral of lius partner rafael ramos. There was hope it would be different this time. On saturday officers actually saluted de blasio during li us wake. On sunday lius widow was presented with the nypd flag just three months after their wedding. She spoke through tears. We loved you. I loved you. I will forever love you. She called him her best friend and said he took pride in being an nypd Police Officer. Lius father said he called him every day at the end of his shift to say that he was okay. Liu was honored with a service that blended nypd tradition and buddhist custom.

A Royal Malaysia navy ship collected a bag with shoes and a pair of glasses, poignant reminders that nearly 130 people are still missing. The bodies and debris recovered so far have not had any burn marks, which aviation experts say rules out an onboard explosion, leaving the options of a catastrophic nosedive or an attempt to belly land on the sea during bad weather. An agency has concluded that icing caused by a storm the plane couldnt avoid was a triggering factor in the december 28th crash. That matters little in a special mourning area where families wait to bury their dead. The signs are messages of respect, the equivalent of tributes on an obituary page. Limantara was 30 years old. She was going on holiday with her father. He hasnt been found yet.
