Boston Marathon Bombing Trial Sentencing Set for April 21
Published at
FBI(BOSTON) — The next phase of the Boston Marathon Bombing trial won’t start until almost two weeks after a guilty verdict was delivered by the jury.
The same jury that found Dhhokhar Tsarnaev guilty on 30 federal counts won’t start deciding whether he should be put to death until April 21.
On Friday, a judge granted a request to give Tsarnaev’s lawyers time to work out logistical issues with witnesses for the sentencing phase.
The delay also means the trial will skip over two significant dates: April 15, the second anniversary of the Marathon bombings, and April 20, the date the Marathon will be run this year.
