Reaction to the death sentence a federal jury imposed Friday on Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev:
---
''Now he will go away and we will be able to move on. Justice. In his own words, `an eye for an eye.''' - Bombing victim Sydney Corcoran, who nearly bled to death and whose mother, Celeste Corcoran, lost both legs
---
''This is nothing to celebrate. This is a matter of justice. ... He wanted to go to hell, and he will get there early.'' - Michael Ward, off-duty firefighter who responded to the bombings
---
''Today feels different only because it feels more complete. Right now, it feels like we can take a breath. We can breathe again'' - Karen Brassard, who was injured with her family in the bombing
---
''After watching my two sons put a leg on each day, I don't know about closure, but I can tell you it feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.''- Liz Norden, a mother whose two sons lost parts of their legs in the blast
---
''Today the jury has spoken. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev will pay for his crimes with his life.'' - U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz
---
''We know all too well that no verdict can heal the souls of those who lost loved ones, nor the minds and bodies of those who suffered life-changing injuries from this cowardly attack. But the ultimate penalty is a fitting punishment for this horrific crime, and we hope that the completion of this prosecution will bring some measure of closure to the victims and their families.'' - U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch
---
''Tsarnaev is an unrepentant terrorist held to account by a justice system that provides due process of law even to those who commit the most horrific offenses. We extend our deepest sympathies to all those affected and hope the conclusion of this trial provides an important measure of justice to those still healing.'' - U.S. Assistant Attorney General for National Security John Carlin
---
''I hope this verdict provides a small amount of closure to the survivors, families and all impacted by the violent and tragic events surrounding the 2013 Boston Marathon. We will forever remember and honor those who lost their lives and were affected by those senseless acts of violence on our city. Today, more than ever, we know that Boston is a city of hope, strength and resilience that can overcome any challenge.'' - Boston Mayor Marty Walsh
---
''I think every time somebody runs the marathon, it will be impossible for this to be too far from their minds. The marathon has certainly changed forever ... and that by definition, I suppose, changes Boston.'' - Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker
---
''I think we've sent a strong message that we're not going to tolerate terrorism in our country.'' - Boston police Commissioner William Evans
---
''What is clear is that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev tried to strike fear in the heart of a city and failed miserably. While this trial may be completed, we will never forget those that we lost and the strength and resilience that our community showed in the face of such evil.'' - Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healy
---
''Justice is done.'' - Imam Talal Eid, founder of the Islamic Institute of Boston
