Marathon-bombing trial stays in Boston, judge rules | The Columbus Dispatch
BOSTON -- A federal judge ruled yesterday that the trial of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who isaccused ofplanting two bombs at the 2013 Boston Marathon, will remain in Boston but be delayed fortwomonths.
U.S. District Court Judge George A. O'Toole rejected an argument by Tsarnaev's attorneys thatthetrial should be moved because their client cannot get a fair trial in Boston. However, O'Tooledelayedthe trial until Jan. 5. Attorneys for Tsarnaev had sought a delay until September 2015.
Tsarnaev has pleaded not guilty in the bombing that killed three and injured more than 260. Heandhis older brother, Tamerlan, are accused of detonating two pressure-cooker bombs near thefinishline of the marathon. Tamerlan was killed during a gunbattle with police days after thebombings.
