Testimony Begins In Boston Marathon Bombings Trial

Jurors in the trial of accused Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev won't even have to consider whether there's reasonable doubt Tsarnaev committed the crime.

On Wednesday, in opening statements of the long-awaited trial, Tsarnaev's attorneys admitted he planted a bomb at the Boston Marathon finish line.
