I’m pretty moderate, but the world can do without the likes of Tsarnaev.
“The 8-year-old boy killed in the Boston Marathon bombing appeared to reach for his mother in the final, grueling moments of his life, court testimony revealed Thursday.
Footage from the terror attack shows a small blurry figure, believed to be young Martin Richard, raising his hands right after the second blast near the marathon’s finish line, Boston.com reported. The harrowing video, which had already been shown in the court, was used again Thursday, the final day of prosecutors’ arguments against convicted bomber Dzokhar Tsarnaev.
Richard, who was standing less than four feet from a bomb, was the youngest of the three people killed in the attack that also injured more than 260. A trauma surgeon from Massachusetts General Hospital who previously testified in the trial said Martin most likely suffered severe pain in the last moments of his life.
Survivor Stephen Woolfenden, the prosecution’s final witness, said he saw Richard’s eyes “rolled back in his head” after the explosions and put his hand on the back of the boy’s mother, Denise, to comfort her.”
