Boston Marathon survivors reflect, share outrage over convicted bomber collecting COVID-19 funds
Fox News
As the city of Boston and survivors of the 2013 marathon bombing reflected on the ninth anniversary of the deadly terror attack last week, some spoke out about a federal criminal justice system that has allowed the convicted bomber to collect COVID-19 relief money and other funds as he appeals his death sentence.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, convicted of coordinating the attack with brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev, is locked up in a maximum federal prison in Florence, Colorado. The brothers planted two homemade pressure-cooker bombs that killed three people – two women and an 8-year-old boy — and injured over 260 others. Seventeen of those injured lost at least one limb in the attack.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was convicted on 30 terrorism charges and sentenced to death on six of them. A federal court later reversed the death sentence, but the U.S. Supreme Court in March reinstated the punishment in a 6-3 vote.
