Terrorist #2 Wants His Trial To Be Moved Out Of Boston Because We Talk About The Bombing Too Much
(Source) — Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s lawyers argued in federal court Wednesday that their client cannot get a fair trial in the state of Massachusetts. The attorneys for the surviving Boston bombing suspect filed a motion to have his trial moved from Massachusetts to Washington, D.C., citing “an overwhelming presumption of guilt” in the state. Tsarnaev’s trial is scheduled to begin in November. Tsarnaev is accused of planting two pressure cooker bombs along with his brother, Tamerlan, near the finish line of the 2013 Boston Marathon, killing three people and injuring 260.
I understand (at literally the most pedestrian level) one’s right to a fair trial and I get that the lawyer’s are just playing the lawyer game. But get the FUCK out of my face with this bullshit. I mean I’m just reading those reasons that he can’t get a fair trial and it’s making my blood boil. I don’t know how a lawyer can write that shit then still look himself in the mirror. Because there are pictures of the terrorist attack and pictures of the arrest after we shut down the entire city to find this scumbag on his rampage? The fact that we supported the victims and employed a “Boston Strong” motto to rally behind? Because we’re still going after anybody who may have helped these terrorists? I’m stunned. Literally stunned. Hey man, you wanted to be famous. You wanted to terrorize and punch a city right in its heart at one of its most beloved events. You wanted to kill and maim. Not our fault you picked a city that hits back. Shut the fuck up, face your accusers, and go rot in jail for the rest of your life already.
