Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is again trying to avoid execution, asking the 1st US Circuit Court of Appeals to consider four constitutional claims not taken up when his death sentence appeal went to the Supreme Court.

Tsarnaev's attorneys in a filing Thursday said the trial court “improperly forced” their client to stand trial in Boston; violated his constitutional rights by denying his challenges to two jurors accused of lying during questioning; dismissed a potential juror because of that person's opposition to the death penalty; and allowed the admission as evidence of what they called Tsarnaev’s “coerced confession.

“Because these four claims on direct appeal have not yet been adjudicated by any appellate court, Tsarnaev respectfully submits that the April 6 judgment was entered in error and should be vacated,” his attorneys wrote. The Supreme Court agreed by a 6-3 vote on March 4 with the Biden administration’s arguments that the appeals court was wrong to vacate the death sentence imposed by a jury for Tsarnaev's role in the placing of two pressure cooker bombs near the marathon finish line in 2013 that killed three people and injured more than 260. He was convicted in 2015.

Interesting that he has no desire to die but had no qualms about killing and maiming others.

For cowards is always easy to kill!

Nah homie…….you got your jihad on. Now you deal with jihad results.

Put it down like a rabid dog. Why should taxpayers keep this slab of evil garbage alive a second longer?

Could we move him to South Carolina so they could finish the job!

He had absolutely No concern for those he & his brother maimed & killed. He even ran over his own brother & betrayed everyone he befriended here in America. NO MERCY for him!! NONE.
