Episode notes

The Boston Marathon bombing trial was five weeks long. The jury found Johars' eye of guilty on all 30 counts. Then the jurors began what's called the penalty phase to determine whether or not he would be executed. After it was all over, one juror spoke publicly saying if I had known that, I probably would change my vote.
