Boston Marathon Bombing
Monday's Boston Marathon will take place a decade after three people were killed and more than 260 injured by homemade bombs.
Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaevs attorney has urged a federal appeals court to throw out the 29-year-olds death sentence.
Payton Gendron's lawyer said her client is prepared to enter a guilty plea in federal court in exchange for a life sentence.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was ordered to pay more than $100 million in criminal restitution after being convicted in the deadly 2013 attack.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
The Biden administration supports the death penalty for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, despite the president's opposition to capital punishment.
A federal appeals court threw out the sentence against Dzhokhar Tsarnaev after it was determined that not enough was done to ensure his trial's jury was unbiased.
Attorney General William Barr said the Justice Department will appeal a court ruling last month that tossed Tsarnaev's death sentence.
A three-judge panel ordered a new penalty-phase trial for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, saying the the presiding judge didnt sufficiently vet jurors for biases.
The former president tweeted on Monday to acknowledge "Big Papi" for helping the community heal after the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013.
"RNC, turn that into an ad," the "View" co-host said.
