Convicted Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev gestures towards a surveillance camera in his holding cell in this 2013 surveillance image released by the U.S. Justice department on April 22, 2015. Prosecutors on Tuesday began their case to sentence Tsarnaev to death with an emotional gut-punch to the jury as survivors described the toll of the April 15, 2013, attack that killed three people and injured 264. Assistant U.S. Attorney Nadine Pellegrini showed the jury the surveillance photo she said was taken of Tsarnaev in a holding cell on the day of his first court appearance in July 2013, where he gestured at the camera with his middle finger, an obscene gesture. "This is Dzhokhar Tsarnaev," Pellegrini said. "Unconcerned, unrepentant and unchanged."
