Boston Marathon Bomber’s Death Sentence Overturned by Federal Appeals Court
Breitbart ^

Posted on 07/31/2020 8:19:55 PM PDT by Phillyred

The death sentence for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who was behind the 2013 Boston Marathon Bombing, was overturned by a federal appeals court on Friday.

The decision was made by a three-judge panel of the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals after they concluded that the judge who oversaw the case did not properly screen jurors for biases. The panel ordered a new trial to see whether the 27-year-old terrorist should be executed.

“But make no mistake: Dzhokhar will spend his remaining days locked up in prison, with the only matter remaining being whether he will die by execution,” the judges stated.

U.S. Circuit Judge O. Rogeriee Thompson wrote in the 182-page ruling that the trial judge “fell short” of ruling out biases in jurors during the selection process.

“Despite a diligent effort, the judge here did not meet the standard set,” Thompson stated.

The mother of Krystle Campbell, a 29-year-old who lost her life in the attack, expressed outrage with the court’s decision, saying she does not “understand it.”

“I just don’t understand it,” Patricia Campbell said in a statement to the Boston Globe. “It’s just terrible that he’s allowed to live his life. It’s unfair. He didn’t wake up one morning and decide to do what he did. He planned it out. He did a vicious, ugly thing.”

Former Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority officer Dic Donohue, who was injured during a shootout with the brothers, expressed frustration with the decision but said he is not surprised.

“And in any case, he won’t be getting out and hasn’t been able to harm anyone since he was captured,” he wrote in a tweet.

According to the Associated Press:

Tsarnaev’s lawyers acknowledged at the beginning of his trial that he and his older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, set off the two bombs at the marathon finish line. But they argued that Dzhokar Tsarnaev Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is less culpable than...

With luck his life in prison won’t be nearly as long as his life on death row would have been.

But make no mistake, the judges are unfit for the bench. And the SOB should have been dead for years by now.

I’d like to see this dope strapped down for an hour every day, with a pressure cooker strapped to his chest, knowing that some day, some...day... it will explode.

Yes, I know that makes me a bad person.

I’m from Boston, and I don’t give a f**k.

No justice, no republic, no civilization.

I personally refuse to abide by any decision from a judge who does not have a name I can pronounce.

He only killed and maimed a couple of whities, so this decision obviously makes sense.

Hold on the hanging for a minute. Why? Because this court may just have handed Roger Stone a precedent decision that could get his decision/conviction for perjury etc. thrown out.

His jury forewoman was both a Democrat Party official and financial contributor but failed to put that on her jury form (if I’ve got the procedure correctly) or to fill it out completely.

The judge refused to throw out the decision once this deception was made known and empanel a new jury despite the judge/courts staff to adequately vet potential jurists.

Instead of singing “Tradition”, we should be singing “Precedents” re the Stone case. (I have no love for Stone but I want everyone to get a fair jury and a fair trial, which seems to be in short supply when it comes to Papadopoulus, Flynn, Stone and others).

Well , Eric Holder visited the last Federal Attorney in Fort Smith of all that he visited. The next day charges were formally filed on the last day possible. Prolonged the agony by design did he? A perpetual motion re-trial for the ages it is. The button eternally pushed on the telephone—hold that thought.

I would imagine that a stretch would have sufficed to conclude this situation per a Judge Parker purview.
In Massachusetts of olden times the King’s subjects were barred from hanging Quakers in any trials—only unfair witch trials allowed peons.

There hasn’t been a noose displayed outdoors by the NPS since preceding Bill Clinton’s last appearance in front of NHS with mayor McGill. And obscurely there a discussion in Bill Clinton’s past whereby he mentions Fort Smith “One of the three places that John Mitchell wanted his trial moved to.”

The other pearl of wisdom being “But Faubus has a fine mind and a lot of influence in these hills, these people, and knows things that are worth knowing.”. June 15,1974 Southern Oral History A-0027

And those dastardly Russians warned about those brothers to no avail.

Eric Holder—contempt of Congress and devoid of sensibility—was looking at an idea venue on his last visit.

General Flynn should have blown up some people - he’d be off the hook now.

Don’t bet your life on that your honors.

The Democrats in this country are well on their way to destroying the rule of law and the American culture.

After they have completed their work the United States will be left defenseless against the growing influence of the Orthodox Islamic jihad movement in the US.

A completed Islamic revolution in our country will place us under Islamic law.

Under Islamic law Mr. Tsarnaev will have his conviction vacated because under Islamic Law he would have been justified in his actions as a jihadist fighting a nation of infidels.

IF your culture is no longer strong enough to sustain itself it will be replaced by a stronger culture.

Our culture is based on the rule of law and the rights of private property. Our leaders are permitting our laws to be broken at will. Our leaders are failing to protect private property from those that openly commit vandalism, arson and theft.

This is our culture failing my friends. Either standup and demand that your rights be protected. Prepare to defend yourself in armed combat or start looking for a country of refuge. The end is nigh.
