In an appearance at a court during his federal sentencing hearing on Wednesday, Boston Marathon Bomber, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, apologized to the victims and survivors of who were murdered by a terrorist attack plotted by him and his brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
“I would like to now apologize to the victims and the survivors,” Tsarnaev told the Judge and court witnesses.
“I am sorry for the lives I have taken, for the suffering I have caused, and for the terrible damage I have done.”
He also acknowledged Ramadan and expressed his wish that Allah help the victims and their families.
“I pray to Allah to bestow his mercy on those affected in the bombing and their families. I pray for your healing.”
After his statements, he sat down and the Judge sentenced him to “the penalty of death by execution.”
Tsarnaev with the help of his older brother set off two bombs at the finish line of the Boston Marathon on April 15, 2013.
