Jurors of the Boston Marathon bombing trial watched a timeline video compiled by the FBI using surveillance footage and still frames showing defendant Dzhokhar Tsarnaev drop a backpack right near the blast’s youngest fatality.
The FBI released the footage on Monday, the third day of testimony in the federal death penalty trial, the Associated Press reports.
“The video, which shows both brothers' movements around the time of the bombings, focuses on Dzhokhar and shows him carrying a backpack up until he gets to the front of the a restaurant, when he is shown dropping the bag from his shoulder," writes AP.
“One frame then shows the backpack at his feet. The backpack is in a crowd of people and right near children standing on a metal barrier, including 8-year-old Martin Richard, who was killed, and his younger sister, Jane, who lost a leg in the blast.”
The footage also shows what Tsarnaev does once the first and second bombs detonate.
“As the first bomb explodes, the video shows everyone in the crowd turning toward the blast,” reports AP. “Tsarnaev does not look in that direction and instead begins to walk in the other direction.”
“Seconds later, the second bomb explodes, and Tsarnaev, who prosecutors say detonated the second bomb, is seen running with a crowd of people who are also running. People are also shown jumping over metal barriers as smoke wafts over the scene.”
