Looking for some advice on punctured tire

I picked up a rather large screw on my ride today. I was always carry a spare tube so I was able to make it home. A couple of months ago I lost another tire to a large puncture (I know, I have great luck) and the resulting hole allowed the new tube to blow out. So now I'm questioning how safe this tire is. I've already replaced it with a new tire but I'm not quite ready to throw it out because it's only a couple of months old. My question is whether or not I should trust this tire. I've attached some pictures showing the inside and outside of the tire at the puncture site. I'll probably scrap it because I don't need to be riding around on a tire I don't really trust. Opinions are most welcome.
