Anti-death penalty lawyer to defend bomb suspect
A judge has approved the appointment of death penalty expert Judy Clarke to defend 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev who is accused of killing three people and injuring more than 260 injured during the Apr 15 marathon.
However, Judge Marianne Bowler denied a request from Miriam Conrad, Tsarnaev’s public defender, to appoint a second death penalty lawyer — David Bruck, a professor at Washington and Lee University School of Law.
