The U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit vacated the death sentence of Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in a ruling Friday.

The ruling found that Tsarnaev’s initial trial in 2015 “did not meet the standard” of fairness in selecting the jury after Tsarnaev’s lawyers argued that members of the jury had not been impartial during the trial, The Boston Globe reported.

“By not having the jurors identify what it was they already thought they knew about the case, the judge made it too difficult for himself and the parties to determine both the nature of any taint (e.g., whether the juror knew something prejudicial not to be conceded at trial) and the possible remedies for the taint,” the judges wrote.

The 224-page ruling ordered a new trial to reevaluate the death sentence but emphasized that the decision did not undermine the fact that Tsarnaev was found guilty. “Make no mistake: Dzhokhar will spend his remaining days locked up in prison, with the only matter remaining being whether he will die by execution,” the judges wrote.

Dzhokhar and his brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev were identified as the perpetrators of the bombing that occurred during the annual Boston Marathon April 15, 2013.

The brothers used homemade pressure cooker bombs that exploded 10 seconds and about 100 yards apart, Fox News reported. Three people died and roughly 260 were injured.

  • Hung in the village square!

  • Disgusting

  • No! It wasn't the U.S. Court of Appeals that vacated the death sentence of Boston Marathon bomber, it was the Obama appointed judges that did. 

  • I ran the Boston Marathon with the bombing, many before that one, and all others since then. It hasn't been the same. And this guy walks because of a legal technicality? Are you serious? 

  • He shouldn't have been allowed to live even this long.  sad how weak our justice system has become!   He should have been put down long ago!

    • Our legal system deserves to be executed.

    • No doubt....it's sad.   It also does not send a sign to terrorists that the U.S. will take take them seriously; it's sends a message that we are weak on terrorism.

       

    • Vigilante law is coming soon.

    • Very possible!  At least in my state, it's relatively easy to "dispose" of them, of need be!
