Cases and Controversies

What’s Happening in the Boston Marathon Bomber Case?


Listen Later

When Supreme Court justices return to the courtroom for the new term in October, they’ll consider the government’s quest to reinstate Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s death sentences.

The court will hear arguments on Oct. 13 about pretrial publicity and mitigating evidence, as the justices decide whether to reverse an appeals court ruling that vacated Tsarnaev’s sentences for the 2013 bombing that killed three people and injured hundreds more.

Attorney General Merrick Garland imposed an execution moratorium this past summer, raising the question of how that will play into the case, if at all.

To help break down the issues, “Cases and Controversies” hosts Kimberly Robinson and Jordan Rubin are joined by Goodwin’s William Jay, who filed an amicus brief supporting the government on behalf of the National Fraternal Order of Police.

Hosts: Kimberly Robinson and Jordan Rubin

Guest: William Jay

Producer: David Schultz
