Attorneys for accused Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and federal prosecutors are due in court on Monday for a conference ahead of the 20-year-old ethnic Chechen’s upcoming trial on charges he killed four people in the April attack and its aftermath.
Tsarnaev faces the possibility of execution if convicted on charges that he and his now-dead brother Tamerlan planted a pair of homemade pressure-cooker bombs at the race’s crowded finish line on April 15, killing three people and wounding 264 in one of the largest attacks on U.S. soil since September 11, 2001.
Three days after the bombing the Tsarnaev brothers are accused of killing MIT university police officer Sean Collier in an unsuccessful attempt to steal his gun.
