The blast killed three and injured hundreds more.<\/p>\n<p>The Boston Marathon occurs each year, typically on the state holiday Patriots\u2019 Day, and is attended by thousands of people, many from around the world. The attack shocked the state and the nation, and led to a manhunt throughout Boston\u2019s suburbs.<\/p>\n<p>During that search, one brother was struck by a bullet and pronounced dead at a local hospital. The surviving brother attempted to flee, hiding in a boat in a backyard in Watertown, Massachusetts, before authorities located and arrested him.<\/p>\n<p>After being found guilty and sentenced to death, the bomber\u2019s attorney argued that while he did act as an accomplice, \u201che was easily manipulated by his brother, who they called the mastermind,\u201d NBC News reported. The bomber\u2019s legal counsel also argued the judge in the original case acted improperly in several ways:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"\"><em>A three-judge panel of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/us-news\/federal-court-overturns-death-sentence-dzhokhar-tsarnaev-boston-marathon-bomber-n1235528\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">U.S. Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit\u00a0<\/a>ordered a new sentencing hearing, ruling unanimously that U.S. District Judge George O\u2019Toole Jr. failed to allow enough questioning of potential jurors about how closely they followed extensive news coverage of the bombings.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><em>The appeals court also said the judge should have allowed [the bomber\u2019s] lawyers to bring up a 2011\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/us-news\/father-slain-man-linked-boston-bombing-suspect-maintains-sons-innocence-flna6c10058914\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">triple homicide\u00a0<\/a>in the Boston suburb of Waltham that investigators suspected was committed by [the elder bomber]. The defense wanted to use the earlier crime to show that the younger [bomber] was dominated by his violent older brother and therefore was less responsible for the bombings, because of his influence.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Yet, the Justice Department under both Presidents Donald Trump and Joe Biden argued that the death sentence was appropriate and that the earlier evidence purportedly showing a pattern of violent abuse from the older brother should be inadmissible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Justice Department said the evidence of who committed the Waltham killings was unreliable,\u201d NBC News reported. \u201c[The older bomber] and another man suspected of having been at the crime scene were both dead by the time of the bombing trial, so there was no way to know for certain what happened.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Likewise, the DOJ \u201cargued that holding a new sentencing hearing would further traumatize the Boston community,\u201d according to NBC. Attorney General Merrick Garland has placed a moratorium on executions but did not apply that order in this case.<\/p>\n<p>Now, [the bomber] will sit on death row at a Colorado maximum-security prison.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
