[Red State] An appeals court has overturned the death sentence of Boston Marathon bomber Dzhorkhar Tsarnaev in a shocking decision that reopens a deep wound at a time when America can barely afford more tragedy.All of this coming as absolutely no surprise. It was so very long ago. Memory hole rules must surely apply.
Tsarnaev and his brother killed two people and wounded over 250 more in a bomb attack at the finish line of the Boston Marathon in 2013. An intense city-wide manhunt led to the capture and eventual conviction of Tsarnaev after Boston police discovered him wounded and hiding in a boat stored at a Boston residence. His brother was killed in a shootout with police.
The overturning of the sentence does not necessarily mean the Islamic terrorist will not ever face the death penalty. The appeals court upheld all the convictions but another trial will be needed to determine the validity of a death sentence.
