Last April, at the first instance trial, the Russian-American suspect, 21-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, was sentenced to death. However, he pleaded not guilty to more than 30 charges, including conspiracy and using a weapon of mass destruction in an international event.

In addition, the defendant was also charged with shooting and killing a university police officer with his brother three days before carrying out the bombing.

On March 15, 2013, the suspect and his brother used two homemade bombs to carry out a bombing at the Boston Marathon, killing three people and injuring 264 others. The perpetrator was arrested four days later.

At the same time, the defendant's brother, Tamelan Tsarnaev, was also shot dead in a shootout with police while trying to flee the area./.
