Now that the Court of Appeals overturned Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's
death penalty convictions, prosecutors must decide whether to
retry him or simply settle for life imprisonment. In this episode,
you will hear the ups and downs of Dzhokhar’s life, so you
can ask yourself: what would you do if you were the prosecutor.
Dzhokhar was only 19 when he, along with his older brother,
Tamerlan, brought pressure cooker bombs to the finish line of
the Boston Marathon in 2013. This terrorist attack killed 3
people and wounded almost 300. Dzhokhar was convicted of
30 charges, some of which - the ones that carried a death
sentence - were just overturned upon appeal, after his
attorneys claimed his trial was unfair.
The grounds for appeal included the location of the trial
being too near the site of the bombing, and bias of jurors
whose social media posts indicated they'd decided against
Dzhokhar before the trial had even begun. His dysfunctional
family and crushed American dreams made him vulnerable
to his brother’s radical terrorist beliefs. Was he just a
lost boy entrapped by his mastermind brother, or an
equally evil terrorist? And does he deserve to die?
