When convicted Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s lawyers filed a motion last month requesting a new trial, at a different venue, a key reason was generally overlooked in superficial media coverage. The legal team based its filing in large part on evidence it says shows at least some of the jurors were exposed to “inflammatory” information on their social media feeds during the trial.
“The social media activity of individual jurors and of their social media contacts is highly relevant to the question of venue, because it further demonstrates a constitutionally-intolerable level of risk to the fairness of the trial …” the defense wrote.
We don’t yet know what that “social media activity” consists of because that section of Tsarnaev’s motion was redacted.
But could social media posts have actually influenced the outcome of the Boston Marathon Bombing trial?

I agree with Mr. Tsarvaev's lawyers - he was convicted before the sham trial even started.
And the evidence suggests that he is nothing more than a patsy.
