massachusetts hasn't had one. so i think saying we're going to do it in massachusetts, we're going to do it in boston, but we're going to pick a jury from boston that doesn't represent this city in a very important way, is unfair. clearly, unfair. amy: we will leave it there and continue as information comes out from what the jurors thought and what happens next. of course, continue to follow this case. denny lebouef is of the aclu's john adams project. thank you, james rooney and professor eric freedman from hofstra law school here in new york. when we come back, ralph nader. stay with us. ♪ [music break] amy: this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. in the last few weeks, a new person has thrown his hat into the ring and the democratic party, and that is independent senator bernie sanders of vermont. since sanders announced his can you see an april am a polls in iowa show support there for him has to 15% among democrats up from 5% in february. this compares to about

and the fact that this was massachusetts and it was likely to be very difficult for massachusetts jurors to sentence him to death. and i think the defense attorney did the best job she could do in terms of trying to cause that jury to find those mitigating factors that would dictate that he be put, that the outcome be life in prison versus the death penalty. so i'm not all that surprised that we're hearing different jurors making different decisions about the mitigating and aggravating factors. >> so remind me again what's the name of the defense attorney working for dzhokhartsarnaev? anyone remember her name? >> judy clark. well-known extremely successful on death cases. >> i have a question on judy clark but erica what have you learned? >> we are learning that the jury sentenced tsarnaev to death on at least 1-2-3 four five -- >> from what source? >> various news sources that are inside the courtroom at the moment. >> i want to source that properly. again your information, we're sourcing it as best we can, is the jury has come to what decision here? >> death on at least six counts.

would it be in massachusetts or elsewhere? >> not necessarily, the federal government, the bureau of prisons would handle it, it doesn't necessarily have to be cited in massachusetts. we said this going in and it's a little segue, notwithstanding the fact that massachusetts doesn't have the death penalty, federal court is a separate jurisdiction, you know, you have to understand that concept, and so the federal government would actually carry this out. liz: here's the governor of massachusetts. >> something far beyond what even in your wild imaginations would ever thought could have occurred, and that for me has always been paramount in this. the significance of the act itself is pretty obvious. the biggest issue for me is the randomness of what happened here, and as i said, i really thank the jury and the judicial system and the process for sticking with this. i thank all the law enforcement people engaged in the horrible series of events that led to the death of officer collier, and i'm glad at this point this part of the pr

massachusetts -- no, not massachusetts. nebraska. nebraska has an unusual legislature. it's all one house. they don't have a house and a senate, they just have one thing, and legislators don't get seated by nebraska either. it's very conservative, mostly republican body. but nebraska's legislature has just taken the second of three votes that they will need to take in order to legally abolish the death penalty in the state of nebraska.fxqñ the repeal the death penalty bill in nebraska is passing, passing by huge margins, even though it is a very conservative legislature there. they have to take one more vote and the governor says he'll veto the bill, because he wants to keep the death penalty, but the votes that have happened so far look like they are both a filibuster-proof margin and a veto-proof margin, to abolish capital punishment in the state of nebraska. so, just think about that for a second. they are simultaneously abolishing it, the conservatives, in the state legislature are abolishing it, and they are waiting for the u.p.s. guy. waiting for their $50,000 wo

so it's a total harvard that was all about massachusetts and massachusetts was first. i love massachusetts. i did my clerkship. the center of all things the hub of the american revolution, the hub of the medical profession. the hub of the universe. it's not quite so. it turns out not to matter that much because of the court basically has gotten it right. here's where it was a big deal. a fellow named john wilkes, as in wilkes-barre pennsylvania. there's not otis pennsylvania you know? wilkes-barre, wilkes county georgia. human thing from the map. john wilkes booth, was named for john wilkes. ashley wilkes gone with the wind is an illusion. the judge in the case these famous english cases that everyone in america does pay attention to come 1763-64 after the august the. and the judge named camden as in eight blocks from here came to new jersey. camden, maine. our friends in baltimore, the orioles play in camden yard. so camden is a very big deal. wilks is a big deal and you can see on a map. otis not so much. and the last chapter is actually the story of camden. you've h

anyone covering massachusetts courts was surprised that the case didn't go like this. certainly the prosecution had sympathy on their side and it was a tough thing to cross-examination some of these folks that have been traumatized so much by what happened there on boylston street. so i think that the prosecution really -- the ball was in their court. >> i'm going to cut in, because the folks you're talking about are stepping up to the microphones. u.s. attorney's office getting ready to give their press conference. let's listen in. >> i want to begin by thanking the jurors in this case for their service. they have sat through months of grueling and oftentimes heart wrenching testimony and evidence. they have been incredibly attentive and they are commended for their commitment, for their service. i also want to thank the many victims, survivors, and witnesses who testified in this case. as well as those who came every day to support them in court. truly, the victims and the survivors are the voices of boston strong, and the living proof that there was much love in thi

the eastern district of massachusetts? well, they never were to begin with because they had to express, you know, a willingness to impose the death penalty to get on the jury in the first place. 's in that respect, you know they wouldn't be totally representative. but i've got to say, you know, if you sat through this evidence every day, and you listened to -- i must say that there was stuff said here in this courthouse that there was never really in the public domain. there were videos taken on the sidewalk after the bomb went off outside marathon sports and after the bomb went off outside the forum sfraurntrestaurant and it was grotesque, and this jury was exposed to this when the general public was not. this jury actually saw photographs, autopsy photographs, that none of us saw. only they saw it. so you know it's very hard for us to place ourselves in their shoes, because they saw evidence that no one else saw. they lived with this all of these -- beginning with the jury selection process, these people have been living

how concerned was he about his family back in massachusetts? c. james: i think he is very concerned. there is one heart wrenching period when she is pregnant and writing right up until the time that she begins labor. and because of the time and distance -- which is so hard for us to understand now, with our instant communication -- he is writing hoping that she will have a daughter and that everything will be fine. in the meantime, she is -- the infant is born dead. she had a premonition that this was going to happen. so while he is writing happily joyfully, she has buried this child. so there is -- he knows that she is capable of doing almost anything that a woman or man could do during that time, but i think there is a certain helplessness on his part. he is so consumed by what he is doing there, but then he will reflect and send letters kiss , tommy and johnny. a lot of it is very emotional. susan: when war broke out, i read that she was so supportive that she would do things like how the effort by melting down a -- pewter housewares so that th

massachusetts did not have the death penalty. that does not matter in a federal trial. but it does speak to how people in the area feel about the death penalty. do you think folks in boston were somewhat conflicted? and while traditionally i don't like the death penalty, but this situation is different. >> i think it was different for a number of reasons. i think there was a real debate here as to what was the best punishment for dzhokhar tsarnaev. should he spend the rest of his days in jail suffering and being out of the limelight? the fact that he was sentenced to death, some people felt he would be made a martyr in the jihad world. and how should he pay for these crimes? what was the best way for him to pay for his crimes? i'm not sure it was for the efficacy of whether he should be put to death or the ethics of it. >> i want to get caleb mason, former federal prosecutor back in here. caleb, talking a little bit more about the appeals process. we heard from pete williams earlier that one thing likely to be brought up in that process is the choice of boston as the lo

south carolinians called him the madman from massachusetts. but his career in congress was in so many ways an expression of that dogged commitment to principle even at the risk of unpopularity. and in the end, he won some of his battles. he won, for example, repealing the gag rule that slavery forces had imposed on congress. he became an immensely respected elder statesman. and in february 1848, on the floor of the house, one member of congress looked over in his direction and said, "look to mr. adams, mr. adams is dying." and -- and his four head had flushed very muddled color and he tried , to stand any fell over. and he was carried to, well, i think the speaker's office just off the floor of the house. and and henry clay came to visit him and of course louisa came and he didn't recognize her. but supposedly, his last words were, "this is the last of earth but i am content," which i never believe because i don't think john quincy adams was ever contented for a moment but he died in the capital in effect doing his duty. swain: do we think of
