"Reflecting on 10 Years Since the Boston Marathon Bombing"

The Biden administration's support for reinstating the death penalty for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, convicted of helping to carry out the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings, has sparked debate over the use of capital punishment. Massachusetts abolished capital punishment in 1984, and public sentiment is against it in the state. Legal experts remain perplexed over the administration's decision to argue in favor of the death penalty, despite President Biden's promise to end it at the federal level. Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley has called for the Federal Death Penalty Prohibition Act to end the federal death penalty in America and write its abolishment into law.
