A US jury decided that Tsarnaev, 21, deserves to die for his role in the April 2013 bombing.
The decision was made after 14 hours of deliberations on whether the Tsarnaev should get a life imprisonment or death sentence, considering he was a teenager when he carried out the attack.
He carried out the attack alongside his brother, Tamerlan.
