A prosecutor says Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (joh-HAHR' tsahr-NEYE'-ehv) wrote defiant notes while he lay injured in a hospital bed after his capture.
The revelation by Assistant U.S. Attorney William Weinreb came Wednesday during a sidebar discussion with Judge George O'Toole Jr. and Tsarnaev's lawyers. The group was discussing the testimony of an assistant U.S. marshal who was asked by Tsarnaev's lawyers about his conduct after his arrest.
Defense attorney Miriam Conrad said she wanted to show that Tsarnaev, in his interactions with the marshal, "was never defiant, hostile or uncooperative." Weinreb protested, saying Tsarnaev wrote "one defiant note after another" in his hospital bed.
Tsarnaev had been shot in the face and had a jaw injury that left him unable to speak.
Weinreb didn't reveal the contents of Tsarnaev's notes.
