He was charged with 30-counts of which 17 carried death penalty. His defense lawyer tried to argue that his older brother who died in a shootout with police was the architect of the plot and got Tsarnaey influenced. However the jury was unanimous in six counts, sentencing Tsarnaey to death by lethal injection.
