BOSTON - A federal appeals court on Thursday ordered Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's case to be returned to a lower court to probe claims of juror bias and determine whether his death sentence should stand.
If the lower court's investigation reveals either person should have been disqualified, the court should vacate Tsarnaev's death sentence and hold a new penalty-phase trial to determine whether he should sentenced to death, the court said.
"And even then, we once again emphasize that the only question in any such proceeding will be whether Tsarnaev will face execution; regardless of the outcome, he will spend the rest of his life in prison," the court said.
The Boston-based appeals court issued its ruling more than two years after the U.S. Supreme Court reinstated the sentence imposed on 30-year-old Tsarnaev for his role in the bombing that killed three people and injured hundreds near the marathon's finish line in 2013.

Why is this POS still breathing?
Two jurors with a “bias?” How does that affect anything?
Everyone has a bias. You get a jury together to hash out everything with facts and everyone agrees, in the end.
Bias no longer matters, then
They are looking for an excuse to spring him, not just commute the death sentence.
The bastard's got some pretty good lawyers, no doubt. Probably financed by his Imam.
Agreed. Should have been worm food shortly after the sentence was made.
When there’s overwhelming evidence, there should be ONE appeal. If that appeal is lost then the sentence should be carried out within a few days. Our legal/justice system has become nothing so much as a “road to riches” for the legal class. Too many lawyers and not enough legitimate legal work available for even a portion of them produces a system corrupted by greed.
Kaleed Sheikh Mohammed is still alive and is a 5 star guest of Uncle Sam down in Gitmo, 23 years after he killed 3000 Americans
How’s that for “justice?”
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev should be served his meals from a pressure cooker that may or may not detonate, until one finally does.
The piece of crap should be executed and then buried along with copies of rolling stone magazine with his picture on the cover and the love letters he got from adoring women.
How about a BIAS assessment for the Trump Prosecutions, in NY, regarding the Prosecutors, the Judges, and THE JURIES?
Absolutely.
As for death sentences, look how fast they got rid of Timothy McVeigh and compare it with the several other Muslim-terrorist federal death sentence prisoners still lounging around.
More likely you and I and all the other taxpayers are paying the lawyers—and to feed and house him of course.
Two, that’s nothing, how about twelve?!
Speed bump, the brother, was killed that night.
This guy was caught and tried.
Was the jury biased? In Boston? Absolutely.
“Everyone has a bias.”
I have a bias against IEDs no matter who builds them and sets them off.
