United States v. Tsarnaev

United States v. Tsarnaev, 595 U.S. 302 (2022), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held that a defendant is entitled to an impartial panel of jurors, not necessarily a panel of jurors who know nothing about the case.

The decision reinstated Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's death sentence for his role in the Boston Marathon bombing.

[1][2] Principally, the majority opinion written by Justice Thomas emphasized that the abuse of discretion standard only allows reviewing courts to reverse decisions that are "manifestly unreasonable."

"[1] In dissent, Justice Breyer asserted that the trial court did not meet the abuse of discretion standard.
