Supreme Court Rules on Boston Marathon Bomber's Death Sentence, Justice Thomas Crushes 'Unfair Trial' Argument

The Supreme Court reinstated the death sentence of convicted Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on Friday, The Associated Press reported.

Lawyers for the Biden administration had argued in favor of the death penalty in spite of President Joe Biden’s vocal opposition to capital punishment.

Tsarnaev carried out the 2013 bombing of the marathon with his brother, also shooting and killing a police officer during a days-long manhunt that terrorized Boston.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev died in a gun battle with police a few days after the bombing.

Three people were killed by the jihadist duo, including a police officer who was shot in the head, and 264 people were injured in the bombing.

A federal appeals court ruled in 2020 that Tsarnaev, an Islamic extremist, had been influenced by his brother in the bombing of the marathon to justify commuting his original sentence to life imprisonment.

The court also concluded that the judge didn’t properly vet jurors to counteract bias in Tsarnaev’s original trial.

“Dzhokhar Tsarnaev committed heinous crimes,” Justice Clarence Thomas wrote in a majority opinion defending the legal validity of Tsarnaev’s original trial, according to The Associated Press.

“The Sixth Amendment nonetheless guaranteed him a fair trial before an impartial jury. He received one,” Thomas said.

Should Tsarnaev receive the death penalty?
Yes: 97% (37 Votes)
No: 3% (1 Votes)
The Supreme Court ruled to reinstate the death penalty for Tsarnaev in a 6-3 decision on Friday, with the court’s conservative justices voting in favor.

The Biden administration has imposed a moratorium on the use of the death penalty in the federal justice system, even though its lawyers argued in favor of execution.

As such, the prospects of Tsarnaev’s execution are unclear.

Skin a dead hog then sew Tsarnaev inside the skin alive and bury him.

>>>Amazing. I agree with biden on something. Sorry OPPers, but I'm totally against taking of a life accept to save a life or the unfortunate parts of war. That includes the death penalty, killing babies in the womb, mercy killings or assisted suicide. Death is final and we should never assume the right to such finality over our fellow humans. Life on death row is far worse a penalty then a quick death sentence. Let them live long in tight confinement thinking of their crimes that put them there.

I believe in the Death Penalty and I also believe there are times when the murderer should die the same way his or her or it's victim did. And another thing....anytime there is a news story about someone who has been sentenced to life in prison......there should be a running account of how much tax payer money has been spent so far on that person and that amount should be reported as well as that prisoner's name and crime along with the news story.

I personally believe that the person or family who suffered a murder should be the person or family to determine the penalty what is the verdict is for conviction.
