Tsarnaev Found Guilty

Jurors in the Boston Marathon bombing trial found Dzhokhar Tsarnaev guilty of all 30 counts, including 17 that carry a possible penalty of death. The trial will next move into a penalty phase, where the jury will hear testimony and arguments from both sides and ultimately be tasked with deciding whether he gets the death penalty.

Three spectators were killed in the bombings: Krystle Marie Campbell, (29), a restaurant manager from Medford, Massachusetts, Lu Lingzi, (23), a Chinese national and Boston University graduate student and Martin William Richard, an eight-year-old boy from the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston, who was killed by the second bomb.

On April 18 at about 10:48 pm, Sean A. Collier, 27, an MIT police officer of Wilmington, Massachusetts, living in Somerville, Massachusetts, was ambushed in his police car and died from multiple gunshot wounds.

Printable Things I Never Told You: 1) People sometimes ask where Condoleeza Rice's first name came from. Neither her Uncle Ben nor her less successful sister, Apartmentaleeza, knew. 2) Judging by their knives, I'm thinking the Swiss Army are mostly bartenders. 3) Yes, your honor, I did, but in my defense she was screaming loudly and I thought she had been stung by a jellyfish.

The Hits Just Keep On Coming: At a parent-teacher meeting in Kansas City, a teacher asked a mother how to pronounce her child's name, "Le-a." The teacher guessed, "Leah"? The mother answered, "No." The teacher tried, "Lee - A?" The mother replied, "Nope." The teacher continued, "Lay - a?" Again, the mother said, "No!"

The mother becomes irate because everyone is getting her child's name wrong. She finally says, "It's pronounced 'Ledasha'.". When the mother was asked about the pronunciation of the name, she said, "the dash don't be silent."

So, if you see something come across your desk like this, please remember to pronounce the dash. If dey axe you why, tell dem de dash don't be silent.
