The surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, has been indicted on 30 counts, including the murders of four people. U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz unveiled the charges in Boston.

Carmen Ortiz: “The indictment alleges that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is responsible for the deaths of Krystle Marie Campbell, Lingzi Lu, Martin Richard and Officer Sean Collier, and also for maiming, burning and wounding scores of others. Today’s charges reflect the serious and violent nature of the events that occurred on April 15 and the tragic series of events that followed. The defendant’s alleged conduct forever changed lives. The victims, their families and this community have shown extraordinary strength and resilience in the face of this senseless violence. And it is with the hundreds of injured, as well as the victims in this case, in mind that we proceed to seek and make sure that justice is served.”

Tsarnaev could face the death penalty if convicted. The indictment includes details on what he allegedly scribbled inside the boat where he was captured in a Boston resident’s backyard. Referring to attacks on Muslims by the U.S. overseas, Tsnarnaev is said to have written in part: “The U.S. Government is killing our innocent civilians. … Stop killing our innocent people and we will stop.”
