A jury of seven women and five men convicted him on multiple charges that could be punishable by death, including deadly use of a weapon of mass destruction. The next phase of the trial will decide whether tsarnaev should be sentenced to death. The bombs that dzhokar then 19, set off with his nowdead older brother, tamerlan, killed three people and wounded more than 260 others nearly two years ago. After the verdict, Karen Brassard who was hurt in the attacks along with her family spoke for a group of survivors and family members. Its not something that will ever be over. Youll feel it forever. There will always be something that brings it to the forefront. But were all going to move on with our lives and were all going to get back to some sense of normalcy. Hopefully when this is all done. So closure, i guess, i dont think so, just because its forever a part of our life. We turn once again to adam reilly, who has been covering the trial for Public Television station wgbh. He was in the court today when the verdict came in. Welcome back, adam. Looking at the 30 counts handed in today, were there any surprises . Were any of the counts anyone expected perhaps he might be found not guilty on . I dont know if there were any counts where we expected a notguilty finding, but what the defense had really pushed on was, first off, the idea that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev played a key role in the murder of sean collier, the m. I. T. Police officer fatally shot three days after the bombings. Then there was also implicit pushback against the idea that dzhokhar was part of the bomb who killed krystle campbell. The defense said tamerlan was the bombmaker and dzhokhar followed his lead. The defense got absolutely nothing. Ifill still, no daylight at all. In the end, it was a unanimous clear verdict which perhaps speaks to what happens next. You really have to wonder if it doesnt speak to what comes next. It wasnt just the guilty findings on all 30 counts but a number in court were called aggravating factors. For example, if Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was found guilty of conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction and then did they result in the deaths. Some of the aggravating factors were duplicative, the deaths of those four individuals came up on a few occasions. But there were more than 60 of the aggravating factors and again, in every single case the jury said yes these crimes resulted in these outcomes, all of which will bolster the governments case for the Death Penalty when we move into the next phase of the trial. What well hear which we havent heard in a full and focused way as they wanted is the defense making their case that dzhokhar was pushed into this by tamerlan. Tamerlan. Judge otoole said earlier they could not focus on this argument. They would have liked to have been talking about it every day and now theyll get their chance. Ifill you saw Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in the courtroom tad. What was his demeanor . How did he take it . His demeanor has been fascinating to all of us throughout the trial. He has been laconic from the beginning. A lot of people says he looks cocky when entering court frequently rubbing his goatee, stroking his hair to make sure its okay. During the guilty findings, on two occasions he crossed his arms and hunched. That is not body language ive seen before in Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. It had almost a feeling of feeling threatened or vulnerable. So that was something new. No outbursts or weeping. Those gestures or those stances were striking. Ifill how about the family members and survivors who were in the courtroom . They were very quiet, very stoic. The ones who i looked at, and you almost feel uneasy watching them because they have been through so much and theyve had to relive it publicly, i was looking at the parents of martin richard, the 8yearold boy standing right in front of the bomb Dzhokhar Tsarnaev placed and his body ravaged by the bomb, we heard about it in horrific detail a few days ago, i was watching his family as they came in. Martin richards father stared straight ahead, lips pursed. His mother was watching the findings being read, they looked as composed as they possibly could be, having gone through what they have. But there were no loud noises in the courtroom as the findings came in. There were no shouts of ex exaltation. There were family sympathizers, ones who thought Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were getting a raw deal from the legal system have been in court on occasion and we didnt hear from them. It was very quiet. Ifill Dzhokhar Tsarnaevs lawyer moving forward on the Death Penalty phase, does that start right away . It doesnt. A lot of people expected it to begin as soon as they had a verdict. The judge said it wont begin tomorrow or friday. It may begin monday. H he says he will move expeditiously but didnt commit to a monday start. I think the huge challenge for judy clarke and it may be insurmountable, is to try to make the jury feel a shred of sympathy or empathy for her client. She made a reference in her closing arguments to all the people whose lives were indelibly changed by the bombings including Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. Its asking a lot, i think of people to feel that kind of empathy toward him but shes going to give it a try. It will be very very difficult. It only takes one of those jurors to decide they dont want the Death Penalty. Exactly right. Just one. We dont know what evidence they can come up with. I think it remains to be seen whether Dzhokhar Tsarnaev will take the stand in his own defense. A lot of people think there is no way that will happen but i think the impact guilty findings may lead tsarnaevs team to think if he wants to plead for mercy and express contrition that may be the only way they can maybe spare his life. Adam reilly, wbghtv boston. Thank you. Thank you.

A murder charge for the Police Officer caught on video shooting an unarmed man in South Carolina. Cheering students on, to boost standardized test scores. And, the Legendary College basketball coaches who won the ncaa championships. Woodruff its been six days since the u. S. , five other world powers, and iran agreed to a framework deal on that countrys nuclear program. The announcement in lausanne, switzerland, came as a surprise to many who thought much less would be agreed upon. But some critics including republican members of congress, and the Prime Minister of israel, say its a bad deal and doesnt do enough to stop iran as a Nuclear Weapons threat. Secretary of state john kerry took the lead for the u. S. Including spending many late nights to finally secure the agreement with other leaders. In his First Television interview since returning to washington, i spoke with secretary kerry about the road ahead and criticism over working with a longtime enemy. Secretary kerry, welcome. Thank you for talking with us. My pleasure. Woodruff you put a lot of effort into negotiating this framework agreement. Spent months if not years on this. People look at this and they see all that effort and i think one question is, is it going to take even more work to get the remaining unresolved issues figured out, or is it is the hardest part behind you . Its going to take more work but it may also be that the hardest part is behind us because the framework has really crossed a barrier, if you will. But the details are going to be tough and coming down to the last come marks the last crossed the last comma, the last crossed t im confident will be as difficult as the last couple of days of the framework. Woodruff a couple of details to clarify for the American People what this is. Is it correct to say this is really about not about denying iran a Nuclear Weapon but delaying the way when they can have one and delaying it really only by a party matter of months . Absolutely not. Not in the least. No, it is not about that. It is about denying them a Nuclear Weapon. The reason i can say that with canconfidence is we will have a sufficient level of transparency, of inspections, of accountability of tracing uranium, of following production of centrifuges of knowing what is happening in their program that if they begin enriching to create a Nuclear Weapon, we would know immediately and be able to take actions. So i dont agree with that assessment. This is a guarantee that for the next 15 to 20 years, they wont possibly be able to advance that program and then, when they become a more legitimate member of the nonproliferation community and subject to lifetime inspections and investigation, we will have accountability. Woodruff but it is said now they have a breakout capacity of three to four months and at the end of this agreement, it would be a year. Meanwhile, they have enrichment capacity, they have the ability to do research and development on these socalled advanced centrifuges and enriching uranium where they could even potentially and the president himself has acknowledged this, create a weapon almost instantly. Let me describe where we are. Its important for people to think about wheres the starting point. When i began secretary of state, they had 20,000 centrifuges, a large stockpile of enriched uranium at 20 and were moving in the direction of really threatening to perhaps go down and get a bomb. Now they no long very that 20 enriched uranium. Its been reduced to zero. They no longer enrich above a small percentage, 3 4 . They no longer have the ability to break out in the same period of time as when we started this. When president obama became president they already had enrichment, they already had mastered the fuel cycle. So in the years preceding that, they were edging up and up and up constantly. Now were going the other way. Were rolling the program back and putting in place a very strict set of transparency and Accountability Measures that will allow us to know what is happening, and it is not accurate to say its only ten years. Some measures that are in this deal go for 15 years, some go for 20 years some go for 25 years like the tracking of uranium. Thats a 25year tracking of uranium from mining to milling to the yellow cake to the gas to the centrifuge to waste, well follow every part of that, and there are lifetime provisions here forever provisions they have to adhere to. Woodruff let me ask you about some of the details which you mentioned. Inspections. The president has said these will be the most intrusive rough best inspections ever. Others have said it will be anywhere, anytime. The iranians are saying, no, it wont be on military bases and there will be limits. Which is it . We will have a very robust inspection system. We have a means of dispute resolution that will permit us to be able to resolve questions if there are any unresolved issues of access. They have agreed to abide by what else called the Additional Protocol of the nonproliferation treaty. That protocol requires participating states to adhere to a higher standard and if they dont judy, then the sanctions can and will come back. For a certain number of years, that will happen automatically but i can assure you that if iran were then to suddenly move to try to advance this Program Beyond what would be normal for Peaceful Nuclear power, the whole world will respond just as we have now and sanctions will be reimpose
