US court overturns Tsarnaev's death sentence for marathon bombing

This is reported by RIA Novosti with reference to the court decision.

"The death sentence for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on points 4, 5, 9, 10 and 14 of the charge was canceled, the case was transferred to the (lower) district court for a new trial at the sentencing stage," the decision says.

In December 2018, Tsarnaev's defense applied to the Court of Appeal with a request to annul his death sentence.

In May 2015, a US jury sentenced Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who was found guilty of organizing the Boston Marathon bombings, to death.

On April 15, 2013, a terrorist attack was committed at the finish of the Boston Marathon. The explosion killed three people and injured more than 200.
