Boston Marathon bombing survivor Karen Brassard said she didn’t feel closure after Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was found guilty Wednesday on all 30 charges.

“It’s not something that will ever be over. You’ll feel it forever. There will always be something that brings it back to the forefront,’’ Brassard told reporters outside Moakley Courthouse in South Boston immediately after Tsarnaev’s conviction.

In addition to Brassard, Carlos Arredondo, who rushed survivor Jeff Bauman to medical care at the bombing, also spoke to the press.
