As It Happens: Friday Edition
Part One
Boston bombing verdict
A jury sentences Dzokhar Tsarnaev to death for his role in the Boston Marathon bombing -- which feels like justice to our guest, a victim of the attack.
B. B. King obit
With the death of B.B. King, the world loses the last of the great bluesmen -- and Canadian musician Colin James pays tribute to his friend and inspiration.
Part Two
Moncton RCMP charges
A federal government agency charges the RCMP for failing to adequately train the officers who responded to the shootings in Moncton last year.
Rohingya Muslim migrants follow-up
Hundreds of Rohingya Muslims are stranded in boats off the coasts of Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia -- and their supplies, and hopes, are dwindling.
Part Three
US Army psychiatrist resigns
Until today, Patrick Lillard was a psychiatrist with the U.S. Army. Now he's resigned. But he's not going quietly: he's blaming the Army's substance-abuse program for failing to help a soldier who killed a sheriff's deputy and himself.
Macedonia "lipstick" protester
A woman protesting against the government in Macedonia becomes a symbol with a simple act: applying lipstick, and then smooching a riot cop's shield.
Jackson Pollock recipe book
A new book details the culinary adventures -- and pie recipes -- of an American chef named Jackson Pollock, who apparently also dabbled in art.
