Court overturns Boston Marathon bomber's death sentence A federal appeals court has overturned the death sentence of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, saying the judge who oversaw the case didn't adequately screen jurors for potential biasesA federal appeals court Friday threw out Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s death sentence in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, saying the judge who oversaw the case did not adequately screen jurors for potential biases. A spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney’s office in Boston said they were reviewing the opinion and had no immediate comment.
