During oral arguments in December, Judges Thompson, Torreulla and Kayatta all expressed concerns about the jury selection process. Tsarnaev will remain in prison forever, but a new trial will be needed to determine whether he’s executed.

Not that it would happen any time soon, but as a side note I can’t fathom the notion of empaneling a jury for a case like this during a pandemic

This is the upshot: the 1st Circuit denied Tsarnaev’s bid to change the venue based on the expectation of a voir dire that did not leave it up to jurors to judge their own impartiality. The panel found that did not happen, so the death sentence is vacated.pic.twitter.com/ba2RrHgPXq

Judge Juan Torruella differed from the majority, saying the change of venue issue was enough to warrant a new trial. "If this case did not present a sufficient basis for a change of venue, there are no set of circumstances that will meet this standard."pic.twitter.com/9HkagDfkTv
