Boston Bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Will Face Victims as Judge Reads Out Death Sentence

Tim Dionisopoulos | June 24, 2015

On Wednesday, Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev will come face to face with his victims and the families of victims at a hearing where a federal judge reads out his death sentence.

Reuters reports that approximately 20 people will be in attendance, all of whom lost limbs or a family member in the attack on the 2013 Boston Marathon.

Statements from some of the victims who lost limbs will be read at the hearing. Interestingly, Tsarnaev also has the opportunity to speak at the hearing, but is not required to make a statement.

Tsarnaev was found guilty this past May of killing four people and injuring 264 others in the bombing attack.
