He confessed to the crime. He was convicted. Why is he asking for a new trial? Has he lost his faith in the idea that Allah will reward him for his jihad, and is hoping to avoid the death penalty? Or is he hoping to tie up more of the Infidel’s time and resources in the costly waste of time that a new trial would be?
“Condemned Boston Marathon bomber files motion for new trial,” Associated Press, July 6, 2015:
BOSTON (AP) — Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (joh-HAHR’ tsahr-NEYE’-ehv) has filed a motion for a new trial, less than two weeks after he was formally sentenced to death for the 2013 attack.
Tsarnaev’s lawyers filed a preliminary motion for a new trial Monday for his conviction and death sentence. The motion did not contain any details on what grounds they plan to argue, saying only that a new trial is “required in the interests of justice.”
The 21-year-old Tsarnaev was convicted of 30 charges in the bombing, which killed three people and injured more than 260. The same jury recommended the death penalty, and a federal judge on June 24 sentenced him to death.
Tsarnaev’s lawyers call the motion a “placeholder” until they can file a more detailed motion next month.

It really frosts me that a person who is absolutely guilty is getting to waste our time and money. In this case their is so much evidence against him. Could he get off because a certain procedure was not filed???? Why isn’t he anxious to meet all those virgins.
tilda says
The appeal suggests that:
1. He does not believe in the 72 virgins
2..He does not believe in Allah
AND
3. He thought he’d get away with it (i.e. though he wouldn’t be caught)
Someone should have taught him the card game “snap”. (That card game is perhaps not Islamic, but it is a good teaching tool — and a gap in his education.)
tilda says
Correction: “thought he wouldn’t be caught” not “though he ….”

Why isn’t he anxious to meet all those virgins!!! You beat me to it!! M
Ashton O'Dwyer says
His “left-wing” lawyers, who have been “sucking at the public teat”, in preparation for their “book deal”, should be sanctioned for filing a frivolous motion. Ashton O’Dwyer.
Nathan says
While we stumble around in the treacle of our justice system, built for peace not a terrorist war. I might add. They have the wind of a satanic god behind them, no morals and an extensive indoctrination network spread throughout the world. BY OUR OWN LEADERS!
Our peaceful standards will be our undoing, and when it gets so bad we have to abandon them. It will be too late.
What’s a man to do?
Angemon says
Why wouldn’t he file for a new trial if he has the chance to do so? What’s the worst it could happen, him getting the death penalty again?
Carlos Danger says
The convicted is a bored attention whore. Keep him in his oubliette, and as the days turn into weeks, the weeks into months, and the months into years remind him from time to time that most Americans wish him dead, and those who don’t will soon forget him.
Oliver says
Aren’t there any patriotic priosners anymore?
So that he can take a shower by himself, and slip and fall and bleed to death?
Jaladhi says
Stop paying his public defender lawyers and see where his appeal goes!! Or be prepared to feed him for next 30 years!!
Voytek Gagalka says
I can bet my head (figuratively speaking) that not only he is “hoping to tie up more of the Infidel’s time and resources” but was actually ACTIVELY encouraged to do so by his Mohammedan lawyer and his imam. That’s the way they fight us, “infidels,” isn’t it? “To destroy our miserable house from within with our own hands,” using our laws and system.” The way of cultural jihad.
Mr UPSIDE DOWN says
die you scum bag Tsarnaev…i hope you suffer
mortimer says
Tsarnaev wished well to the survivors and the bereaved families of those he killed. However, that is not a requirement of Islam. He should not show sympathy towards kafirs. He is losing his faith.
Tsarnaev will get the full protection of the law, no matter how guilty he is. That will demonstrate to Muslims the full extent of his guilt and the superiority of the American legal system to their own.

Or maybe he was pretending for the sake of appearances and his appeal.
abad says
Better yet – he should be deported and forbidden to ever again enter the USA
eib says
Double jeopardy cuts both ways. This is the West. He will not be tried again. The motion is a joke.
epistemology says
He only wants to waste the tax payer’s money and create confusion. Waste the creep
John Collignon says
Leftist/Communist lawyers and judges have and are, destroying this country.
susan says
Perhaps he will claim that he is being targeted because of his “religion”, discriminated by the infidels (that’s us) while he was only following Allah’s orders to kill us. Islamomorphic: a Muslim who can’t make up his mind about Islam.

The Feds didn’t waste any time executing Timothy McVeigh for the OK City bombing-stop coddling this cockroach and get rid of him or “honor” his Sharia laws by stoning him to death in Boston Commons. First, give him an award for “doing the right thing” for running-over his brother.
Linde Barrera says
To dum murican- (and all JW commenters for this article) I bring you greetings from Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker’s office, 617-725-4005. I just got off the phone with a helpful man called Daniel, who told me that because this is a federal case against terrorism (for which The Joker received the death penalty) but it is being tried in MASS. and they don’t have the death penalty (The Joker received several concurrent life terms) this case could go on for several years under the appeals process. So, if you want to talk to the District Attorney’s office in Springfield 413-784-1240 or the District Attorney’s office in Wooster 508-792-7600 or the Executive Office of Public Safety 617-727-7775 in Boston, please call, be polite, and act like Perry Mason! Daniel also wanted to give me the Dist Atty # in Boston but I declined because I called them before The Joker got his sentence and that office never returned my call. So now we should find out why the feds put Timothy McVeigh in his place quickly, and why it will allow The Joker more time to do “The Jailhouse Rock”. I hope 1 of the 24 commenters will make that call and report back here. Thank you!
Cartimandua says
So the Rolling Stone “cute guy” isn’t so cute anymore. The law is an ass if it delays his death sentence. He did it, he confessed, he is guilty. Period. Lawyer blah blah does not change it, stop making a farce of it. No wonder lawyers are at the bottom of American’s hit parade, next to politicians. END IT NOW.
