Jury to decide life or death for bomber

Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev faces a new court date with the same jury that convicted him for the worst attacks on US soil since 9/11 - and this time will decide if he is to pay for his crimes with his life.

Tsarnaev will get either life in prison or the death penalty after a jury unanimously found the 21-year-old former student guilty on all 30 counts related to the April 15, 2013, attacks, the murder of a police officer, a carjacking and a shootout while on the run.

The Muslim immigrant of Chechen descent, who took US citizenship in 2012, stood in a dark blazer, occasionally fidgeting and hooking one hand into his trouser pocket as the clerk read out the verdict on Wednesday, after the jury had taken one and a half days to reach its verdict.
