Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has been formally sentenced to death for his role in the attack that killed three and injured hundreds in 2013. Addressing survivors inside the courtroom, Tsarnaev apologized for the first time, saying in part: “I am sorry for the lives that I’ve taken, for the suffering that I’ve caused you, for the damage that I’ve done.” After the hearing, Boston Marathon survivor Henry Borgard responded to Tsarnaev’s statement.

Henry Borgard: “For me to hear him say that he’s sorry, that is enough for me. And I hope, because I still do have faith in humanity, including in him, I hope that his words were genuine. I hope that they were heartfelt. … When I made eye contact with him, it wasn’t like looking in the face of a criminal; it was like looking in the face of a boy.”
