S3, E3: Reinstating The Boston Bomber's Death Sentence
Oct 14, 2021•20 min•Transcript available on Metacast Episode description
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was convicted and sentenced to death in 2015 for his role in the deadly Boston Bombings that killed three people and injured nearly 300 others, but last year his sentence was overturned by a First Circuit that found he didn’t receive a fair trial. The case reached the Supreme Court on Wednesday, where the justices grappled with arguments about mitigating evidence and appeared to lean in favor of reinstating his punishment. Law360’s senior Boston courts reporter Chris Villani has followed this case for years and joins The Term podcast this week to discuss it.
