Admitted Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev slouched in his courtroom chair on Tuesday as prosecutors presented the writings he made on the wall of the boat after his older brother was killed by police.
"The U.S. government is killing our innocent civilians . . . As a Muslim I can’t stand to see such evil go unpunished," said part of the scrawl, which was riddled with bullet holes and stained with blood after a firefight with police.
"You hurt one you hurt us all. Well, at least that's how Muhammad wanted it to be [bullet hole] ever."
CNN reported that victims of the blast — many who lost loved ones and many who lost limbs — sobbed and scowled at Tsarnaev as the evidence was shown.
In what Assistant U.S. Attorney William Weinreb called his "manifesto," Tsarnaev admitted he was jealous of his older brother, Tamerlan, and insisted he would be admitted to heaven for dying as a holy warrior.
"Now I don't like killing innocent people it is forbidden in Islam but due to said [bullet hole] it is allowed," his writing concluded.
In addition to his writing on the Slip Away II, a fishing boat dry-docked in Watertown, prosecutors also presented Tsarnaev's Twitter accounts. Forty five tweets out of about 1,100 were highlighted. Many, if not most, were typical of a young man, and opined on girls, cars, and food.
One interesting tweet sent while he was on the run from police said, simply, "I'm a stress free kind of guy."
