 Seven years later and the Boston Marathon Bomber continues to still be a source of news for the American Public. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, one of the brothers involved in the bombing has recently resurfaced in the justice system.  CNN reports "Justice Department asks Supreme Court to reinstate death penalty for Boston Marathon bomber." During the initial trial it was passed that he would not face the death sentence, however CNN reports that the Justice Department would like to revisit the idea based on the original jury not being properly screened for bias. The plea was passed and he will be given a new trial with a different jury. It was argued that this was of of Americas most important terrorism prosecutions. The article continues to recap what happened that day and end that he is being held in Colorado. Fox News's article titled, "Justice Department asks Supreme Court to hear Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's case." It begins by stating it was wrong to ever "throw out" the death sentence to begin with.  The article also states how this is the most important terrorism prosecutions in America. It is not noted that the thought that the original jury could have be biased. The article instead of recapping the events in 2013 of the bombing explain that the lawyers for the brothers, even though admitted guilt to the bombing, the younger brother, Dzhokhar, should not be put to death as his brother was the mastermind behind the attack.
