Local runner calls marathon bombing verdict satisfying and sad

CBS 58 spoke with local runners that were there.
Peter Stefaniak, of Wauwatosa, finished about an hour before the bombs went off and said that he is satisfied and sad about the verdict in the case.
Stefaniak said he still wished Tsarnaev's older brother was alive because it appears he was the mastermind.
He added that he's not concerned with the next phase of the trail, the punishment, where Tsarnaev could get life in prison or the death penalty.
Whitefish Bay runner John Chandler was at the marathon in 2013 as a spectator.
This year he's returning, ready to run, and ready to remember the race like the first time he was there in the 1980's.
