US Attorney General William Barr will again seek the death penalty against Dzhokhar Tsarnaev for the Boston Marathon bombing, the news agency reported.

On July 31, a Federal Appeals Court in Boston ordered that 3 of Tsarnaev's convictions be reversed, his death penalty scrapped & a new penalty trial ordered.

Barr said the Justice Department plans to appeal the ruling & would even take it to the Top Court, the report said on Thursday.

Tsarnaev will remain in prison for life because he has not challenged the life sentences against him.

The Boston Marathon bombing on April 15, 2013, killed 3 people & injured hundreds of others. Dzhokhar & his older brother Tamerlan were found guilty of the attack. Tamerlan was killed by police while on the run on April 19 of the same year, while Dzhokhar was arrested the following day & sentenced to death by lethal injection in May 2015.
