warriors. these children weren't innocent to him. they were american." the defense began closing arguments much like the trial, saying "dzhokhar tsarnaev stands ready by your verdict to be held accountable for his actions," telling jurors they agreed with the government on the who, what when and where of the bombing but that we very much disagreed about the why. they contend it was tsarnaev's older brother, tamerlan who was the master mind and the money behind the attack telling the jury "we don't deny that dzhokhar fully participated in the events, but without tamerlan it wouldn't have happened." as deliberations begin in the morning, the verdict expected to come very quickly. in fact within the next couple of days here. that's the latest live in boston. jay gray news4. a dream caribbean vacation turned into a nightmare for a delaware family. they ended up in the hospital with pesticide poisoning. the couple and their two teenaged sons were staying at a luxury result in the u.s. virgin islands soon after arriving last month they got violently ill.
