Jury Selection Begins in Boston Marathon Bombing Trial

HeadlineJan 05, 2015

Jury selection begins today in the trial of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. Three people were killed and 264 were wounded when a pair of homemade bombs exploded near the race’s finish line. Tsarnaev faces 30 federal counts, including the bombing of a public place, malicious destruction of public property, and use of a weapon of mass destruction resulting in death. He is accused of plotting the attacks with his older brother, Tamerlan, who died in a firefight with police. Federal prosecutors are seeking the death penalty, a rarity for a federal case.
