Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has been sentenced to death. Earlier today, a jury in Boston voted unanimously to execute the man responsible for the marathon bombing in 2013 that killed a trio of bystanders. Says Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch via statement: “Dzhokhar Tsarnaev coldly and callously perpetrated a terrorist attack that injured hundreds of Americans and ultimately took the lives of three individuals: “Krystle Marie Campbell, a 29-year-old native of Medford; Lingzi Lu, a 23-year-old Boston University graduate student from China; and Martin Richard, an 8-year-old boy from Dorchester who was watching the marathon with his family just a few feet from the second bomb. “In the aftermath of the attack, Tsarnaev and his brother murdered Sean Collier, a 27-year-old patrol officer on the MIT campus, extinguishing a life dedicated to family and service.” Tsarnaev, who was found guilty of this heinous crime in April, will remain in custody and be formally sentenced by the judge at a later date. “We know all too well that no verdict can heal the souls of those who lost loved ones, nor the minds and bodies of those who suffered life-changing injuries from this cowardly attack,” added Lynch. “But the ultimate penalty is a fitting punishment for this horrific crime and we hope that the completion of this prosecution will bring some measure of closure to the victims and their families. “We thank the jurors for their service, the people of Boston for their vigilance, resilience and support and the law enforcement community in Boston and throughout the country for their important work.” View Slideshow: 17 Celebrities Who May Have Killed People
