Tsarnaev Found Guilty of Boston Bombing

Dzhokar Tsarnaev has been found guilty of carrying out the most bloody terrorist attack on US Soil since the events of September 11th 2001.

The Boston Marathon bombing attack of 2013 killed three and injured 264 others.

Tsarnaev was also convicted of killing a police officer while on the run, during which his older brother Tamerlan was killed.

Many of the charges carry a death penalty, but his sentence hearing is still to get underway.

Speaking after the 21 year old was convicted of all 30 counts against him, bombing survivor Karen Brassard says she was not convinced by defense arguments about being misled by his older brother.
