This file photo released April 19, 2013, by the Federal Bureau of Investigation shows Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, convicted and sentenced to death for carrying out the April 15, 2013, Boston Marathon bombing attack that killed three people and injured more than 260.

The justices, by a 6-3 vote Friday, agreed with the Biden administration’s arguments that a federal appeals court was wrong to throw out the sentence of death a jury imposed on Tsarnaev for his role in the bombing.

Justice Anthony Kennedy, the newest member of the Supreme Court, and Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, are shown on April 15, 1988, in Washington, at the Supreme Court during a picture taking session. The full court was also present for the photo session. For years, the Supreme Court moved to the left or right only as far as Justices O'Connor and Kennedy allowed.
