The Supreme Court sounded ready Wednesday to reinstate the death penalty for convicted Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
. President Joe Biden also has called for an end to the federal death penalty.
Justice Elena Kagan said jurors should have been able to decide whether the evidence was reliable. “That's the role of the jury," Kagan said. Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, had been in a gunfight with police and was run over by his brother as he fled, hours before police captured a bloodied and wounded Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in the Boston suburb of Watertown.
Prosecutors deemed Todashev's statement reliable enough to ask for and get a search warrant for Tamerlan’s car for blood, DNA and other evidence relevant to the triple murder. Feigin tried to point the court to Tsarnaev's admission of responsibility for the bombing and his deadly actions captured by cameras near the marathon finish line, including placing a backpack with a shrapnel bomb behind a group of children.
