Boston Marathon bomber, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 21, was yesterday evening
sentenced to death for killing three people and injuring 264 people in
the 2013 Boston attack. Dzhokhar and his older brother planted two
home-made bombs near the finishing line of the Boston race, killing
people and causing grave injury. Some lost their legs. His brother later
died in a shootout with police.
Dzhokhar had faced a 30-count indictment, with 17 of the charges
carrying the death penalty. The jury at his trial today said they were
unanimous on six of counts that Tsarnaev should be administered a lethal
injection.
According to CNN, as the verdicts were read out, the former college
student showed no emotion but several people in the public gallery broke
down in tears.
