Bias documented for two jurors.
Trial should have been moved out of Boston.
Those are the two key reasons why the U.S. Court of Appeals, reports WCVB, overturned the death penalty for Boston Marathon bomber Dzhakhar Tsarnaev. The trial just wasn't a fair one.
The Court ordered a new penalty phase trial. In 2015, the young man have been convicted on 30 counts and sentenced to death. The Court also threw out some of the convictions.
It seems a travesty of justice that it was overlooked that, for example, one juror had been posting on social media about the trial. Also, what was obvious, even to a first year law student, was that there should have been a change of venue - away from "the scene of the crime." Emotions on the Boston Metro area were still raw.
Tsarvaev is fortunate. Donald Trump had ordered the resumption of federal executions.
