In the trial of admitted Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Tuesday, jurors heard from Stephen Silva, one of Dzhokhar's high school friends.

Silva testified that he gave Tsarnaev a 9 mm handgun, which was later used to kill MIT police officer Sean Collier, carjack a motorist in Cambridge and send a volley of shots at police in Watertown in the wake of the marathon attacks.
