Boston marathon bombing survivors react to bomber Tsarnaev's apology

Updated on Jun 25, 2015 12:57 pm IST

Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev rose to his feet and apologized to the victims and their loved ones for the first time on Wednesday just before a judge formally sentenced him to death. The apology came after Tsarnaev listened impassively for about three hours as a procession of victims and their loved ones lashed out at him for his "cowardly" and "disgusting" acts. His apology was a five-minute address peppered with religious references and praise of Allah. He paused several times, looking as if he was trying to maintain his composure. Outside court, some bombing survivors said they doubted Tsarnaev's sincerity, given his lack of remorse during the trial. But another survivor, Henry Borgard, said: "I was actually really happy that he made the statement. I have forgiven him. I have come to a place of peace and I genuinely hope that he does as well."
