  What happens next? The second phase of the trial will decide whether or not 21-year-old Tsarnaev will receive the death penalty. Presidential hopeful and democratic Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren spoke out about the death penalty on a CBS morning show saying, “My heart goes out to the families here, but I don’t support the death penalty. I think he should spend his life in jail, no possibility of parole.” The state of Massachusetts does not have a death penalty, but the current case is federal.
