Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev convicted, could face death penalty
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, one of the two men behind the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings, has been found guilty of conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction, opening up the possibility of the death penalty. In April 2013, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and his brother Tamerlan set off two homemade bombs near the finish line of the Boston Marathon, killing three people and injuring over 250. When investigators released images of two unknown suspects, the pair fled, shooting and killing a police officer in the process. Escaping from a firefight with police, Dzhokhar ran over and killed his brother; he was eventually found injured in a boat.
