Getting to this point has not been easy for Jane. In addition to all of the surgeries, she has also had to fight off infections and other complications. After not being able to communicate with Jane for the first two weeks, she woke up with difficult questions that needed to be answered. Photos of Lu's body were shown to the jury. A legal secretary was seen wiping away tears during the testimony, according to a Boston Globe reporter in the courtroom.
Last Thursday, the jury also heard testimony on the death of year-old restaurant manager Krystle Campbell. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 21, is charged with the bombing attack, as well as shooting Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer Sean Collier dead three days later. His brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, died that night after a gunfight with police that ended when Dzhokhar ran him over with a hijacked car. Defense lawyers opened the trial last month with a blunt admission that Tsarnaev, a native Chechen, had done everything federal prosecutors claimed.
But they contended he did so out of a sense of subservience to his older brother, rather than his own anger at his adopted country. On trial: Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, pictured left in a photo submitted for evidence, is on trial for carrying out the deadly bombings with his older brother, Tamerlan, right, who later died during a shootout with police.
By painting Tamerlan as the driving force behind the attacks, the defense aims to spare the younger Tsarnaev a death sentence and secure him a life sentence instead.
After the prosecution calls its last witness, the defense will have a chance to call its own witnesses, which could include Tsarnaev himself. But they will be limited in how much evidence they put forward about the relative blame of the two brothers before the jury determines whether their client is guilty of the charges he faces.
If the jury does find him guilty, the trial will enter a penalty phase, when both sides will call another round of witnesses before the same jury determines whether Tsarnaev should be sentenced to death or to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
