US Supreme Court to weigh reinstating Boston Marathon bomber's death sentence
[AlAham] The Justice Department, before Trump left office, filed an appeal of a lower court’s decision ordering a new trial over the sentence Tsarnaev should receive for the death penalty
-eligible crimes for which he was convicted.


The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday agreed to hear the federal government’s bid to reinstate Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s
...the pretty, ethnic-Chechen college boy from Dagestan who, with the highly connected but self-radicalized older brother he subsequently ran over while fleeing police, used pressure cooker bombs to blow up the Boston Marathon in 2013. The mosque the brothers frequented, the Islamic Society of Boston, is a hotbed of jihadi sentiment and connections to so many different jihadi groups and individuals the mind boggles. It was founded by Clinton Friend and Al Qaeda financier Abdurahman Alamoudi as a Muslim Student Assn/Muslim Brotherhood project in 1981. According to Russian intelligence, whose warning about our lads President Barack Obama’s intelligence agencies ignored until afterward, the Tsarnaev boys had lots of jihadi-connected friends back in the Olde Countrie, too, but nobody seems to to have found a formal connection between them and any registered jihadi group ...

...the barbaric practice of sentencing a murderer to be punished for as long as his/her/its victim is dead...
for helping carry out the 2013 attack that killed three people and maimed more than 260 others.

The Justice Department, before former President Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
left office, filed an appeal of a lower court’s decision ordering a new trial over the sentence Tsarnaev should receive for the death penalty-eligible crimes for which he was convicted.

The case presents a potential challenge for President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. We get to suffer the consequences...
, who has said he wants to eliminate the death penalty at the federal level. Individual states set their own policies on the use of capital punishment. Biden’s administration has given no indication it plans to reverse the Trump administration’s approach to the case, as it has done in several other cases pending at the court.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki
...a valley girl who woke up one morning and found she was spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of State under Obama...
said Biden continues to have "grave concerns" about capital punishment but has also expressed "horror" about Tsarnaev’s actions and the bombing. Psaki said she had no updates on the administration’s stance as it relates to the Tsarnaev case.
The odds that “President” Biden actually said any of those words unprompted hovers in the low single digits, as opposed to others proclaiming the thinking he is no longer capable of...
Tsarnaev, now 27 years old, and his older brother, Tamerlan,
...aka “Speedbump”, whom all agree was the brains of the operation, though his brains allegedly would have fit easily into a teacup before his baby bro ran over him with intent. Baby bro allegedly tried to shoot his own brains out while hiding from the cops, but missed, which goes to show...
precipitated five days of panic in Boston when they detonated two homemade pressure-cooker bombs at the marathon’s finish line on April 15, 2013, and then tried to flee the city. In the days that followed, they also killed a police officer. Tsarnaev’s brother died after a shootout with police.

Victims of the bombing have been divided over seeking the death penalty. David Patton, Tsarnaev’s lawyer, has previously argued that prosecutors should facilitate "closure" by allowing a life prison sentence.
Well sure. That’s his job, no matter his personal beliefs on the subject.
Patton did not respond to a request for comment.

Jurors in 2015 found Tsarnaev guilty of all 30 counts he faced and later determined he deserved execution for a bomb he planted that killed Martin Richard, 8, and Chinese exchange student Lingzi Lu, 23. Restaurant manager Krystle Campbell, 29, was also killed.

The Boston-based 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the trial judge "fell short" in screening jurors for potential bias following pervasive news coverage of the bombings.

The Justice Department appealed that ruling, which ordered a new trial over the sentence to be given for the death penalty-eligible charges. The department argued that the appeals court adopted a standard that wrongly denied trial judges the "broad discretion" to manage juries provided for by Supreme Court precedents.

Prosecutors said that if the ruling stands, it would have to retry the death penalty phase of the case and "victims will have to once again take the stand to describe the horrors that respondent inflicted on them."
It’d be worth it to help send him back to the dubious pleasures of death row.
The justices will hear oral arguments and issue a ruling in the court’s next term, which starts in October and ends in June 2022.

#3 How much will this cost and why exactly should we spend another cent on this? The concept of incarceration ( for fun look up the source of that term and thank the Romans) should include reviving the medieval form of oubliette!
