Boston Marathon bomber loses bid for new trial, told to pay $101M

A federal judge on Friday rejected Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's bid for a new trial and ordered him to pay victims of the deadly attack more than $101 million in restitution. The restitution order, issued by Judge George O'Toole Jr., is seen as largely symbolic because Tsarnaev is in federal prison and has no ability to pay. Tsarnaev, 22, was convicted and sentenced last year to death in the 2013 attack.
