Here's a photo of bombing survivor Roseann Sdoia with the man who saved her life --- Northeastern University student Shores Salter of Reading.
For days after the bombing, Sdoia did not know his identity.
Then NewsCenter 5 decided to post a photo on its social media sites that showed Salter using a belt as a tourniquet around Sdoia's injured leg. Within minutes, Salter said he began receiving text messages from his high school friends.
Salter told NewsCenter 5 that he was walking toward the Boston Marathon finish line after attending a party with friends when he heard the first of the bombs go off. It was only after the second explosion that he realized what had happened.
He was standing across the street from Sdoia and looked at what he described as a "war zone." Something, he said, drew him to her among all of the people who needed help.
Two other rescuers also rushed to help and Salter said somehow they got the belt around her. He applied pressure to her wounds to help stem the bleeding. Sdoia was then rushed to a waiting ambulance. -
Defense attorney Bruck addressing the judge before the jury comes in. He's concerned about testimony that appears more like victim impact testimony. and he's wondering why the police officer Woods was allowed to talk about a cousin killed in Iraq and a service she attended with Lingzi Lu's family. he says this is increasing the prejudice.

Zhou couldn't talk when she woke from surgery. wrote down that she wanted her visitors to find Lingzi. Zhou cries testifying she would later learn what happened. Every time she woke up, she would ask if they found Lingzi. I asked again and was told "she passed away. you don't know that?" they were trying to protect me so they didn't tell me.

The jury just saw this photo of Lu Lingzi. Her friend Zhou Danling says she took it at a Thai restaurant near Fenway Park.
Both women had arrived from China to study at Boston University.
"We almost do everything together," Zhou told the jury. She says she convinced Lu to watch the marathon with her.
Lu died in the second explosion. Zhou was seriously injured --- and told the court that she held her stomach tightly waiting for first responders because she was worried her insides might fall out.
"I pushed my stomach and that also helped with the pain," she says.
Zhou says she didn't learn about Lu's death until later.
"They're trying to protect me so they didn't tell me," she says. -
