Boston Marathon Bombing.JPEG-09d4f.jpg
FILE - This combination of file photos shows brothers Tamerlan, left, and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings on April 15, 2013. Tamerlan Tsarnaev died after a gunfight with police several days later, and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, was captured and is held in a federal prison on charges of using a weapon of mass destruction. On Thursday, Jan. 30, 2014, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder authorized the government to seek the death penalty in the case against Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. Opposition to the death penalty runs deep in liberal Massachusetts. In a Boston Globe survey in September 2013, 57 percent of Massachusetts residents polled favored life in prison for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, while 33 percent favored execution.
