So, yesterday was the second anniversary of the bombing. Monday the 2015 Boston Marathon will take place. And Tuesday the penalty phase of convicted terrorist Dzohokhar Tsarnaev's trial will begin.
While the Federal government will argue that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev should be sentenced to death, not all of his victims' families agree.

^ Lemmerman stated: "Whenever someone speaks out against the death penalty, they are challenged to imagine how they would feel if someone they love were killed. I’ve been given that horrible perspective and I can say that my position has only strengthened. I also can’t imagine that killing in response to killing would ever bring me peace or justice. . . . I choose to remember Sean for the light that he brought. No more darkness."
