BOSTON (AP) – A survivor of the Boston Marathon attacks has written an indignant open letter to the admitted bomber.
Rebekah Gregory lost a leg in the 2013 bombings and wrote the letter to Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on her Facebook page after she testified in his federal death penalty trial earlier this week.
In the letter, Gregory says sitting near Tsarnaev in court brought her a surprising sense of peace and closure. She writes, “Today I looked at you right in the face … and realized I wasn’t afraid anymore.”
She says she considers Tsarnaev “a nobody” and signs her letter: “Someone you shouldn’t have messed with.”
As of Friday morning, Gregory’s letter had more than 33,000 likes and more than 9,500 shares on Facebook.
