Previewing The Sentencing Of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev
Resume
Wednesday in federal court, about 20 people are expected to tell Dzhokhar Tsarnaev what he did to them and their families.
While the victims will get the chance to tell their stories, their sentiments will not actually affect the judge's final sentence.
The judge will merely be stating what the jury decided for Tsarnaev on May 15: the death penalty.
