Jury to begin deliberations in Boston Marathon bombing trial
The prosecution and defense rested their cases on Monday in the trial of accused Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, leaving the jury to begin deliberations Tuesday. Painting Tsarnaev and his brother, Tamerlan, as unrepentant terrorists, the prosecution argued the two "felt they were soldiers" who were "bringing their battle to Boston."
Tsarnaev faces 30 charges, 17 of which carry the death penalty. His lawyers have never contested his involvement, instead arguing Tamerlan masterminded the attack.
