>> the history of massachusetts is, like many other places, for many years, massachusetts had the death penalty. twin 1640 and 47 lonelier the last execution, 345 people were executed. we had many a tour is death penalty cases. the salem witch trials are famous. one case is particularly important because it demonstrated certain weaknesses in the justice system in the state. you had questions about the fairness of the trial for these immigrants and it led to an anti-death penalty movement. that movement worked long and hard, but did not really get any success until the 1950's when one of our founders, who was the wife of one of the lawyers who represented sacco vanzetti on appeal, and convince the legislature to adopt a bill that would allow juries and a capital case not considered death as a punishment but life in prison as the punishment. that was really the first major victory we had an early 1950's. after that, it has involved lobbying governors and legislatures and there have been some governors have opposed the death penalty and even before the u.s. supreme court in 1972 came down

and the people of massachusetts and the courts in massachusetts have decided no death penalty. severe sentence for murder in massachusetts is life without parole. now, the tsarnaev case the boston bombing case is being tried in federal court and under federal law, the death penalty can be imposed on a variety of offenses and even though massachusetts citizens will actually sit on that jury federal law is applied and the death penalty is a possibility in that case. >> okay. thank you for clarifying. so everybody understands what's going down. so the jury obviously won't have any part in the sentencing phase of the hernandez trial. >> here's what we understand and this comes from susan's reporting. the jury is going to sit in the jury room while the judge does the sentencing procedure and sentences him. she will then go in and talk to the jury as we heard her say. they'll wait in the back while this next hearing takes place. >> i'm sorry, what was that again? my producer is talking to me. okay. all right. so you can see the microphones set up outside the courthouse. i would assum

susan: this next call is from quincy, massachusetts. >> hello.ongratulations on having this wonderful series on the first ladies. i live in quincy, massachusetts, and we are very lucky see and experience and breathe the adams life up close every day. my comment would be about abigail's sentiment about remembering the ladies. i think she pretty much -- women can change destinies, of nations and the world if they set their mind to it. it is very important because women are the primary factors in bringing up the children. especially since she did it on the brink of the united states as we know it today. adams was instrumental in the constitution and the forming of this nation. quincy is actually called the birthplace of the american dream. she may not be formally recognized, but she definitely had a very important role in shaping women's place in this country and in history. susan: thank you. observation, rather than a question. the caller was from quincy. we will taking you next to the quincy home as they prepare to tell you the story of the revolu

massachusetts abolished the death penalty in 1984. because the feds tried this case, now the same jury that has convicted him will have to decide if dzhokhar tsarnaev will live the rest of his life in prison or if he will be killed. the federal government has the death penalty. the federal government kills prisoners by lethal injection when they do it. but the federal government has also only killed three prisoners in the last 25 years. what is the likelihood that dzhokhar tsarnaev will also go to federal death row. joining us now is michael coin, dean of the massachusetts school of law. thanks very much for being here. i appreciate your time tonight. >> thanks for having me here. >> so how will the part of the trial that comes next the part where they decide his sentence, how will that be different than what's happened in the trial thus far? >> there will be some overlap because the governor will still want to present evidence of the victims suffering and carnage that took place at the finish line. so there will be some redundancy in

massachusetts is not a death penalty state. every state has a federal court, arguably every state is death penalty state. this jurory is no ordinary jury. they've been extensively asked, if you had to give the death penalty as a punishment could you do it? i think we consider whatever the history of massachusetts has and more that this is a death penalty qualified jury that is expected if they feel the aggravating factors are there to order this defendant to death. >> stay with us. we are a waiting in the upper right hand corner of your screen. those are microphones. we a wait the family members of those killed at the boston marathon and also the survivors of the attack. remember, there were 264 victims that day. we will be right back in just a moment. ♪ ♪ the pursuit of healthier. it begins from the second we're born. after all, healthier doesn't happen all by itself. it needs to be earned... every day... from the smallest detail to the boldest leap. healthier means using wellness to keep away illness... knowing a prescription

the big question is whether or not massachusetts jurors reflect the attitude of massachusetts.ng been done in massachusetts. the brilliant defense lawyer in this case, clark, tried to move the case out of boston and to an area less liberal and less involved in the crime itself, and that was a lated move. the judge turned it down. now she has a boston jury for better or worse, on the death penalty. it remains to be seen. >> i just want to point out here that in just a few minutes, actually, this federal court is going to reconvene. what we know now is that there is a verdict. a verdict has been reached. we assume that that is what is likely to happen at 1:45 though we don't know. we do have a live picture of the boston courthouse here. of course, 30 counts waiting for the jury. i just want to ask your speculation as you watch this case unfold, how difficult alan, do you think this was for the defense attorney judy clark, who only called four witnesses, to make this case that it was the influence of the older brother here? >> well she hasn't really tried to make the case yet. >>

senator lott, yeah, i am a republican governor from massachusetts. [laughter] governor baker: many years ago i was with a group of health care professionals, and we went down to washington to meet with senator kennedy to talk about health care. when we got down there we were told when we got to his office in the rayburn building that the senate was in session, but he could meet with us in a little anteroom off the senate chamber if we hustled over there quickly. so we all hustled over there and gathered in this little room off the senate chamber, and he came bustling in and sat down with us. for the next 30 to 40 minutes, we all talked with him about health care while literally a dozen members of the u.s. senate at one point or another poked their head in. and in those kinds of conversations you have with people that you really know, abbreviated little, did you look after -- yeah, i am on that -- and did you take, yeah, i got that. back and forth, back and forth between him and his colleagues in the u.s. senate. and when we left that day, i thought t

the death penalty is unpopular in massachusetts and in boston, as a liberal and catholic city and massachusetts hasn't put anybody to death since 1947 i believe, and do you believe the folks as they go into the communities and know the mood of boston and the feeling about death penalty, are they going to be able to put this man to death or say that is not what we want to do as a community? >> well i think you get reaction from various people. the cardinal sean o'malley and the bishop came out against the death penalty for tsarnaev. i think there are a lot of people out there, depending on where you talk to are divided on the issue. some people want him punished for what he did. i think the jurors will decide for themselves. i think they are in a double in terms of what they are going to decide. people in boston certainly have been traumatized by this thing and are watching it very closely. i think we're down on boylston street today and it depends on who you ask, young and old. you get a lot of divided opinion. it could be 50/50 either way when you ask folks. so i think there is a lot of attent

susan is in revere massachusetts, line four democrats. thanks for calling in from massachusetts.aller: i guess i don't believe in the death penalty in this case or any case. but it is a complicated trial. i work next door to the courthouse all these months. i do think this boy, or young man, came from just a family in freefall. and again, i'm not apologizing for his actions, but caught in cultural limbo. a dysfunctional family at an extreme level. it's just such a tragic case on so many levels, but ultimately i don't believe in the death penalty in this case or any case. host: susan, let me ask you what do you think the sentiment is there among massachusetts residents? there is a poll from the npr news station taken during the trial in massachusetts wbur in massachusetts, the found that most massachusetts residents felt that the boston marathon bomber should receive life in prison. in a survey of boston voters, 62 -- 62% said he should be sent to life while 27% said he should receive the death penalty. in the broader sample size that was taken, 504 registered boston area voters f

, john kerry of massachusetts, barney frank, joseph kennedy and other members of the massachusetts delegationthey all voted for this death penalty eligibility and the total was 61 senators in that year and 235 in the house of representatives. overwhelming votes authorized the use of the death penalty and signed into law by then president bill clinton. if this was the intent of congress that such crimes should carry the death penalty, what matter of case did the congress matter for the death penalty if not for this one involving 17 convictions carrying the death penalty and why this law if not now. kendall, why pass a law if you don't intend to enforce it in the most classic example where all these people were killed in a premeditated, calculated murder? >> well, i think -- >> if you're not going to enforce it here. that's what i'm asking. >> the prosecutors are attempting to enforce this law. that's why they have brought these charges and are pursing the death penalty as aggressively as it can. but the law also has room for a jury. and the way this is set up, any one of them can keep somebody

but then massachusetts happened. massachusetts was the first state where it looked likely the constitution would be defeated, partly due to the lack of a bill of rights. faced with the prospect of a conditional ratification or even worse a second constitutional convention the federalists came up with an idea to prevent that from happening. they encouraged the convention to ratify the constitution unconditionally but recommend several amendments that could be introduced into the first congress by representatives and then the amendments could be made there. this was agreed to an massachusetts ratified the constitution. six of the seven remaining states follow this pattern unconditional ratification with recommended amendments. the constitution never would have gone into effect if these states had not been willing to accept the promise of the bill of rights in the future. here are new york's recommended amendments. new york's ratification covered six large parchment sheets of paper. it contains the full text of the cons

proposition two and a half, massachusetts. proposition 13 property tax revolt. they didn't revolt during the previous 10-15 years when spending got out of hand and then taxes went rose to meet it. they waited until taxes increased. so i thought we were going to have to wait until obama would spend a lot of money and i would go hey, look at that and everyone would go, oh, that's not a problem, and then as soon as taxes were raised they'd go, hey, now it's a problem. the american people sensed that all that spending was going to lead to massive tax increases and didn't wait for the tax hikes. the tax hikes followed but the tea party came first. it was the first anti-spending movement in american history. there are lots of tax revolts. first anti-spending movement that a i can find. and -- that i can find. and when they did that, they had maybe 600-1,000 rallies that we could document around the country. there's a wonderful study that aei put out with some harvard and university of sweden stockholm -- >> i obviously think it's wonderful. yeah.

i live here in massachusetts. there is widespread opposition to the death penalty by most people here in this state. as your guests have mentioned here. this is a death-qualified jury for them to be impanelled they had to have an open mind and they have to consider all of the facts and find the young man guilty and then have the open possibility of finding death. and the defense from day one said the facts aren't in dispute. that is him on the video and you see him on the video buying milk after this happened. and nobody is disputing that. it is trying to figure out why he got involved in this with his brornl and whether the jury -- brother and whether the jury will be swayed by the brother's influence on himch that is what it comes down to. >> and the defense, the line of trying to get the jury to believe that it did not work and we'll see if that is the same track they try to use in the penalty phase that moves forward potentially as early as next week. we have this from mayor walsh on the boston plarm bombing -

senator elizabeth warren of massachusetts has been saying she's not running for president. but the push for her to run has always been viewed as a left wing push. from the liberals that love her and some of that is definitely still going on. some of that had quite a resurgence recently but the i'm my own man bush family super pack, they're not liberals. they don't have the same interests or instincts but there's her name on their fund-raising pitch. it's clear. it's been clear for a long time that she isn't running for president but what is still really interesting and unanswered is why it is such a powerful idea to the left and to the right to pretty much everybody involved in national politics that she could conceivably run even though she doesn't want to. why does the prospect of her running hold so much perceived power for all parties? and perhaps most importantly, how can she use that to get more of what she wants? for the american people? senator elizabeth warren joins us next. take zzzquil and sleep like... you haven't seen your bed in days. no, like you haven't seen

and there hasn't been anyone executed in massachusetts since like -- in like 60 years., right? you have a population of people who don't hand down the death penalty. >> at the end of the day i think what they're going to act on is a legal instruction. i think you can't go into the penalty phase in a death case and not make a somewhat emotional decision. >> as charlie and don pointed out earlier, it only takes one juror to vote didagainst and the death penalty doesn't occur. can we ask you about this video from south carolina. its graphic. it looks pretty awful. what do you make of it? >> i think the video is one of those things -- in society we have a compact, that is we ask police to go in harm's way, to get hurt killed. in return, part of the compact is when they come back with their account of what happened, we give them the benefit of doubt. i think this video will reverse the tide very quickly. there was one set of facts that emerged on paper. when the video comes out, you go from an investigation into whether a shooting was justified into what was clearly the crim

the woman from massachusetts. i like her. >> iowa democrats seem to be keeping an open mind about whom to back even though they might be leaning towards clinton right now. >> i may have to be learn about the candidate there may be somebody better but i wouldn't be sad if she was elected. >> democrats in particular just love hillary clinton and there's no one that compares to her. >> jennifer has been covering ohio presidential politics for years including clinton's campaign in 2008. >> if clinton doesn't come and create that rivalry and you don't see other candidates jump in you'll see voters dissatisfied and be a smaller turnout. >> her fairvelgt stands at 45 -- fairchlts stands at 45 be favorability stands at 45%. none of this may matter. political science professor tim hagel says at this stage name recognition is really what matters. >> whether it's governor sanders, secretary webb, none of these have jumped in and fought against her and don't have a chance, and until they are willing to take the fight to her s

>> you bet. >> we'll be back weith senator warren of massachusetts.ian vickers, nascar® driver. i'm kevin nealon comedian. and i'm arnold palmer, professional golfer. know what we have in common? we talked to our doctors about treatment with xarelto®. me, when i had a blood clot in my leg that could have traveled to my lungs. that's why i took xarelto®, too. xarelto® is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. i took xarelto® for afib... an irregular heartbeat that can lead to a stroke from a blood clot. xarelto® is proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. hey, well i'm glad we got together. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. i tried warfarin before, but the blood testing routine and dietary restrictions had me off my game. tell me about it. let's see, golf clinic, or blood clinic? ooh, that's a tough one. not this time. not with xarelto®. anything else? i

again, we are awaiting word from federal court in boston, massachusetts. the verdict in the boston marathon bombing trial -- you are looking at a live shot outside the courthouse waiting for the news conference to begin. apparently attorneys from both sides will speak to the media as soon as the verdict is made official. as we mentioned before the defense conceding early on in the trial that dzhokhar tsarnaev took part in the bombing. that lt phase and the defense strategy is to try to spare his life. we will go back to boston when we get the verdict. let's show you how the eckley markets are doing following the release of the bed minutes. how the equity markets are doing following the release of the fed minutes. scarlet: we saw stocks paring their advance. come inside the bloomberg terminal and you can see this is the lead up to the fomc minutes and there is the leg lower following the headlines. we have come back a little bit but we have erased our games -- erased our gains. the s&p 500 also giving up a lot of its gains end up by only .1%. the vix, which

last execution by the state of massachusetts, happened in 1947.nce which is this kind of case, is a federal case, was in 2003 but that case is awaiting a new trial. meanwhile one survivor expressing gratitude for yesterday's verdict. listen. >> i was really surprised how angry i was to see him and how i was happy to see that he had some pain. but you know, i'm just grateful to have the team that did the work to make sure that the right outcome happened and i you know, i don't want to carry the anger and i don't want to be, i don't want to feel the anger that i think drove or drives people to do hateful things. so i want to put it behind me. martha: good for karen brassard. we hope she will. the defense attorney you see pictured here, judy clarke is a severe opponent of the death penalty. when you weigh the severity of the crime against the state's history how will this jury decide? we have the managing editor for "the boston herald" joining us and brian claypool, criminal defense attorney. glad to have you both here. >> hi, martha. martha: when yo

let's bring in mel robbins to discuss from newton, massachusetts.you look at this, we have discussed this quite a bit. this is part one of two parts of this trial. this is a critical phase that they're in. then they move into sentencing. what are you expecting in closings today? >> basically i'm expecting a very long, very emotional graphic in terms of the photos. what the prosecution did is they ended this case with devastating photographs showing the injuries that killed the three folks that died at the bombing scene. those photographs left many of the jurors in tears. closing line was he was just 8 years old referring of course to martin richard, the youngest victim of this terrorist attack so i think you're going to see them lay out a methodical, completely solid case where they argue to this jury not only did he plan this, not only was he involved, not only was he downloading these magazines, not only was he thinking about this and he was radicalized, he did it of his own volition and they'll point out that photograph that we've all seen of dzh
