Supreme Court to consider reinstating death sentences for Boston Marathon bomber

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

42% : He was convicted of all offenses, and the jury recommended, and the district court imposed, the death penalty on six of 17 capital counts.
41% : The jury's penalty verdict, Fletcher wrote, reflects the "straightforward and fundamental point" that regardless of alleged earlier crimes committed by his older brother, Tsarnaev's "deliberate decision to bomb the Boston Marathon warranted capital punishment because his own personal acts were horrific, inexcusable, and the product of his own embrace of terrorist ideology -- as described in his personal boat manifesto."
33% : The Justice Department under President Biden did not change positions in the case, despite Mr. Biden's opposition to the death penalty, and the high court said in March it would hear the Justice Department's appeal.
