What's Next In Second Phase Of Tsarnaev Trial
ResumeFirst thing Tuesday morning, jurors will return to the Moakley Federal Courthouse in South Boston for the start of the next phase of the death penalty trial of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
Two weeks ago, that same jury convicted Tsarnaev on 30 counts relating to the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing. 17 of those counts carry the death penalty, a punishment that some victims of the bombing have asked the government to take off the table.
