The US Supreme Court on Monday agreed to consider the Justice Department's bid to reinstate Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's death sentence for helping carry out the 2013 attack that killed three people and wounded more than 260 othersThe US Supreme Court on Monday agreed to hear the Justice Department's appeal to reinstate Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's death sentence. Justices won't hear the appeal until the fall, and it's unclear how the new administration will approach Tsarnaev's case. The initial prosecution and decision to seek a death sentence was made by the Obama administration, in which Biden served as vice president. During his trial lawyers for Tsarnaev (left) argued that his older brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev (right) was the mastermind behind the bombing. Tsarnaev infamously wore a white Polo hat while standing on the sidelines of the Boston Marathon before he carried out the deadly pressure-cooker bombings.
