A federal jury sentenced Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to death on Friday. The 21-year-old was convicted last month of 30 charges stemming from his role in the Boston Marathon bombing.
The jury of seven women and five men took 14 and a half hours over three days to render its decision.
According to the Boston Globe, because he was sentenced to death, Tsarnaev will likely be brought to the federal prison at Terre Haute, Ind., where the Bureau of Prisons holds inmates on Death Row.
The Globe also notes that Tsarnaev “will likely engage in a lengthy appeals process that will mirror the complexity of his trial. He will likely appeal several of O’Toole’s decisions in the case, including the judge’s refusal to relocate the trial to a court outside Boston.”
In the wake of the decision, groups opposed to capital punishment voiced disappointment.
