Tsarnaev folded his arms while the verdict was read and showed no reaction. Reporters in the room said, he cracked his knuckles twice and ran his hand through his hair, but he showed no emotion.

Tsarnaev had been convicted of all counts of the Boston bombing, the murder of a police officer, carjacking and a shootout while running. The execution would be the first execution in America after 9/11 terrorist attack, though the case may go through years of legal appeal, Tsarnaev would die by lethal injection if the execution holds.
