The Department of Justice is asking the Supreme Court of the United States to reinstate the death penalty against Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, one of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombers, CNN is reporting.

The attack killed three people and wounded hundreds.

In July, a U.S. Federal Appeals court overturned the death penalty for Tsarnaev. However, in reaction to the decision, President Donald Trump advocated that the death penalty be used in Tsarnaev’s case.
