For a stark reminder of how our justice system fails victims, look no further than Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

The Boston Marathon bomber slithered his way back into the news this week as his bid to have Judge George A. O’Toole Jr. absent himself from re-examining the killer’s death penalty sentence was rejected.

Tsarnaev was convicted in 2015 of all 30 charges against him and remains locked up for life in the Colorado supermax prison ADX Florence.

Tsarnaev’s lawyers allege two jurors were biased when they agreed to sentence him to death in June of 2015 for “using weapons of mass destruction” at the marathon finish line.

The First Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston has instructed O’Toole to take another look at the alleged bias of those jurors.

O’Toole isn’t budging, writing in his latest filing: “It is apparent that the Court of Appeals intended that this Court investigate the potential bias of the two jurors at issue. The instruction was plainly directed to this district judge. Recusal would be at odds with the direction of the Court of Appeals.”

But his recusal would be just fine with the bomber, who is milking the system for all its worth. Tsarnaev was ordered to pay $101,125,027 to 49 victims and the Massachusetts Victim Compensation Fund, according to a judgment issued by O’Toole in 2016.

Last year, he sicced his lawyers on the feds in a bid to keep his $4,223.86 prison trust account from being seized. One of those lawyers said Tsarnaev was paying “$35 per month toward his (criminal) restitution balance,” and had paid about $2,600 to date.

Where does that canteen money come from?

Prosecutors in Boston have said Tsarnaev had received about $26,000 in donations from various sources.

The killer doesn’t have to worry about funding, but he does worry about keeping his baseball cap, the confiscation of which prompted Tsarnaev to sue the federal government for $250,000 over his “unlawful, unreasonable and discriminatory” treatment.

Tsarnaev’s victims have bigger problems than keeping track of baseball caps.

“I hope I live long enough to see justice,” Liz Norden, whose two sons both lost their right legs in the bombings, told the Herald. “It’s mind-boggling that it’s taken this long. My hope is I’m still alive to see it through.”

Tsarnaev and his brother Tamerlane killed Martin Richard, 8; Krystle Campbell, 29; and Lu Lingzi, 23, when they planted bombs at the Marathon finish line in 2013. MIT Police Officer Sean Collier, 27, was shot execution-style days later by the Tsarnaevs as they evaded capture. They also injured and maimed more than 260 people, including Norden’s sons.

People who have to relive the horror of that day and live with the pain of its aftermath every day since.

People whose lives were shattered in an instant, and who’ve had to suffer the indignity of having the man who caused all that suffering cry foul over his prison canteen funds and missing baseball cap, and try once again to avoid the death penalty sentence he was given.

Norden is like many victims shunted to the side by the justice system, whether they have to endure endless parole bids by the criminals who devastated their families, or wait for killers to pay the price for their heinous acts.

“I don’t understand why it’s taken so long. I ask myself this question every day,” she said.

She is not alone.
