but what most of us may not have fully understood until this long-awaiting trial of dzhokhar tsarnaev is how horribly so many people suffered when two bombs exploded at the finish line of the boston marathon two years ago next month. again and again, prosecutors who hope to send tsarnaev to death row have taken jurors and the rest of us almost unbearably close to what one victim calls pure carnage. >> what the [ bleep ]? a bomb? >> is it safe to be here? >> probably not. >> oh, my god. >> get out! get out! >> it is simply raw video in so many ways. and please keep in mind that what you are seeing right now is not even a full and accurate picture of what happened that day because we at cnn have blurred out or edited out the scenes that we simply cannot air. they are just too gruesome and too graphic. but the jury, they see it all without any of that editing. and then also there is this testimony. bill richard, he had to leave the side of his dying 8-year-old boy to try to save his somewhat less-wounded daughter. he told the jurors, quoting mr. richard here, i knew in my head that i nee

dzhokhar tsarnaev is in the courtroom already this morni gm. he's wearing a dark jacket, light shirt, no tie. reporters in the courtroom say he really hasn't shown much emotion on his face. victims of the families are there as well, including a father whose 8-year-old was killed, 7-year-old daughter lost a leg and wife lost her sight. the images were so graphic that they were seen all around the world. analysts say prosecutors will focus on that horror, on how many people died in the bombing planned by the brothers. the surviving brother, dzhokhar tsarnaev, faces 30 charges, 17 of which are punishable by death. the judge just read those in the courtroom this morning. ten women, eight men make up the jury and the alternate pool. they got their instructions this morning. while three jurors previously told the presiding judge that they believe that dzhokhar tsarnaev is guilty, they say they are willing to listen, which may not be easy during the government's case. >> the first part is going to be all the horrific stuff, and i don't think we've hea

audio recordings from terrorist anwar al awlaki on dzhokhar tsarnaev's computer. according to prosecutors they show his interest in jihad, the virtual record they argue of his research to bomb the marathon with brother tamerlan. ipods, cell phones and computers collected during the investigation contain hundreds and hundreds of thousands of files investigated by fbi agent kevin swindlin who testified about text messages dzhokhar sent to his friend after the fbi releases his photo and this video. i saw the news better not text me my friend. if you want you can go to my room and take what's there. he later pleaded guilty to obstructing justice, accused of taking a backpack and computer from tsarnaev's dorm room following the bombing. also found on that computer a school paper he wrote on drone use called the pressdator war. a high school graduation picture. prosecutors say this ruger was used to kill an officer. dzhokhar describes himself as responsible, hard working, a good swimmer in a resume. chechnyia comes out as a top internet search term. islam and jihad are

they are trying spare dzhokhar tsarnaev the death penalty. there's evidence that he was guilty in the bombing, so it was probably wise of his defense to concede that off the bat. there doesn't appear - legal experts looked at this thinking there was a plea deal and their one goal is to spare dzhokhar tsarnaev's life. the way to do that is hopefully to present dzhokhar tsarnaev as someone manipulated in taking part as opposed to someone who had an active role in planning and executing it. >> what is the most incriminating evidence. the evidence that undermines the defense's argument? >> well there has been a - i guess it depends on the way you look at it. there was an extensive pattern of evidence that places him at the finish line. that has him putting a bomb down, in among a crowd of people little kids kids of all ages hanging out there for four minutes, leaving before the bomb debtonates. and so there's clearly an agency in that act. now, the defense's argument which may or may not work is that the brother manipulated him into doing this. t

few would dispute the admission that dzhokhar tsarnaev and his late brother planted the bombs that killed three and injured 260 others. still for those gathered in the courtroom it was stunning to hear. but it a slam dunk for the prosecution. in fact, that admission sets the stage for a question larger than tsarnaev's guilt or innocence. peter alexander is covering the trial for us in boston. >> reporter: inside boston's federal courthouse today, bombing suspect dzhokhar tsarnaev's defense lawyer made a stunning admission, it was him. tsarnaev showed no emotion wearing a dark blazer and open collared shirt. he faces 30 charges, many that could carry the death penalty including carrying a weapon of mass destruction resulting in death. his lawyer admitted it was misguided acts that were inexcusable, admitted the explosions extinguished three lives. among those 8- richards. his smiling face and graphically detailed his death as his parents wiped away tears. taking the stand today, rebeckha gregory, remembers hearing her son calling mommy, mommy and thinking to herself, god, if this is it, ta

tamerlan in the lead, dzhokhar following in his older brother's footsteps. it's the picture the defense painted, as they rested their case today. that tamerlan called the shots in the evil plan. their evidence? tamerlan's fingerprints, not dzhokhar's on rolls of tape a caulking gun, a soldering gun and a jar of nails. possibly bomb-making supplies all found in the tsarnaev family home. tamerlan's prints also on this lid from the pressure cooker bomb in watertown. and tamerlan's computer, not dzhokhar's showing searching for detonator, fireworks firing system and boston marshon. on the younger brother's computer? typical teenage stuff. facebook and vk the russian facebook. and it's that side of dzhokar tsarnaev the defense will likely highlight, as they fight for his life in sentencing. the impressionable little brother, just two years out of high school. not the committed terrorist on a mission to murder. david, tsarnaev's lawyers only called four witnesses, compared to more than 90 by the prosecution. closing arguments start on monday. david? >> all right,

the child for dzhokhar tsarnaev is now on -- the trial for dzhokhar tsarnaev is now underway. the defense is going to try to convince the jury that tsarnaev was unfairly influenced into committing the crime. reporter: victims of the boston bombing arrived for the first day of the trial. he showed no sign of emotion as see sat and listen to the witness accounts in graphic detail. two pressure cooker bombs exploded amongst crowds know the finish line of the boston marathon. three people died, including an eight-year-old boy. almost 300 were injured. >> jp right here and parker, that's where he dropped the backpack. there is right there. they had burned over 50% of our bodies. their hair was gone. i want the death penalty. that would be justice for me. reporter: lawyers were quick to admit responsibility for the attacks. they hope to avoid the death penalty. he was happily influenced by his brother. dzhokhar tsarnaev's trial is set to go on until june. there is the possibility of a death penalty under federal law. anchor: winter is still dragging on. flu season. this year's strai

the defense lawyers have made the argument that dzhokhar tsarnaev was only the follower. there is a second tweeter -- twitter account. they talk about the extreme preacher and jihad and victory over the nonbeliever. and there are questions expected to be raised during cross-examination tomorrow. >>> out front tonight, we have cnn terrorism analyst paul cruishank and lisa bloom. >> you look at the backpack. >> they believe they downloaded the instructions from the internet how to design a pressure cooker bomb. they used christmas light bulbs as an ignition. the clever part was a remote control mechanism based on toy cars. this was a pretty low explosive bombs. if they had used the high explosives this could have been many times more devastating in boston. there are a lot of concern that western recruits are getting training in much more powerful devices. we saw that plot in belgium thwarted in january. they are trained how to make higher-end devices. >> lisa we've seen some very damning evidence that the jury is seeing from this newly released video of the moment of the bl

why did dzhokhar tsarnaev do this? when his defense lawyer got up yesterday, she basically said there's little we dispute. but what they do dispute is when the government says that dzhokhar tsarnaev was, you know, radicalized himself, that he read jihadi literature. he downloaded things and that he was well radicalized and it wasn't his brother that made him do it. i think that's when it will get contentious. >> kevin, thank you very much for joining us tonight. >> thanks, lawrence. >>> coming up, another episode of msnbc's "seven days of genius." okay, listen up! i'm re-workin' the menu. mayo? corn dogs? you are so outta here! aah!

dzhokhar calls his brother and then dzhokhar begins to move quickly away from the backpack he's left on the ground. as his bomb detonates. the energy seems to push him forward. tamerlan is captured on surveillance video walking away. the wounded lay shattered, torn open on the ground. three people are dead. 30 are so severely wounded, they are clinging to life. the jury heard from trauma nurse, who saw her husband's detached leg and tried to help him. not realizing she herself was on fire. prosecutors showed her burned clothing. it matches my scars she testified. both of her legs now amputated. then 23 minutes after the terror attack across the charles river in cambridge, dzhokhar tsarnaev entered the whole foods and pays cash for a half gallon of milk. that night he tweets ain't no love in the heart of the city. stay safe people. within 72 hours, tamerlan will be dead and dzhokhar tsarnaev will be hiding in a dry dock boat. writing a manifesto, explaining why he and his brother did what they did. zer niive's lawyer has barely questioned any of the witnesses and they did not dispute

detonated by dzhokhar tsarnaev. during the opening statements he sat at attention listening to what was being said. during the current witness, he seemed disinterested. he looks disheveled. but what's very interesting is the victims featured prominently in the openings of both the prosecutors and also the defense. the prosecutors describing how the three who died at the marathon simply bled to death and dzhokhar tsarnaev meanwhile had slipped away and was at a whole foods buying milk while paramedics were trying to save the lives of so many people who were injured. then we heard from the defense attorneys. they almost seemed to jump past the guilt phase to the sentencing phase. they also talked about the victims, the lives that were taken, the grief, the loss. but they said that this was the act of two misguided brothers, a senseless act. and the defense attorney saying it was him. the big question, why? why did they do this and who was the ringleader? and that's what this case is about. they say the older brother,

now rests on who is dzhokhar tsarnaev. they are trying to say he is the pawn of the older brother, who is the evil mastermind. they are trying to build sympathy for dzhokhar when the jury has to decide whether or not there is a death penalty applied in this case. dzhokhar tsarnaev didn't do anything you wouldn't have expected today perhaps. he was quiet in the courtroom. there was no opportunity for him to speak. he didn't take any opportunity to draw attention to himself. he sat there. he watched the proceedings. at some point he appeared to sort of straighten up and watch as everyone else did when those very graphic images were shown on those screens. don. >> all right. alexandra, stand by. i want to bring in juliet to weigh in on this. you and i both chord the boston marathon bombing for weeks and weeks. why is this important that dzhokhar tsarnaev's trial is happening in federal court and not in a military tribunal? >> it's important to take everyone back immediately in that week after the marathon when there was a lot
