The Supreme Court decided to uphold the death sentence for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, one of the brothers involved in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing on Friday. The decision was 6–3.
The Friday decision reversed a lower court decision from 2015 that ruled Tsarnaev would sit in prison for the rest of his life instead of pursuing a death sentence.
