The Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty on Friday for convicted Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
The 6-3 vote comes after a federal appeals court tossed the sentence in July 2020, ruling that a trial judge improperly excluded evidence that may have shown Dzhokhar was influenced by his late older brother, Tamerlan.
The First US Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston also cited potential juror bias over exposure to news coverage of the pressure cooker bombing that killed three people and wounded more than 260 others near the race’s finish line in 2013 while vacating Tsarnaev’s death sentence nearly two years ago.
