Lawyers snipe as jury selection resumes in Tsarnaev trial

BOSTON (AP) — As jury selection resumed Thursday in the federal death penalty trial of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, a prosecutor accused one of Tsarnaev's lawyers of trying to "encourage" a hung jury. In order to be seated on the jury, jurors must express a willingness to consider both the death penalty and life in prison as possible punishments. On Thursday, O'Toole, prosecutors and Tsarnaev's lawyers questioned seven prospective jurors, including an events planner and former social worker who said she could keep an open mind about Tsarnaev and had not yet formed an opinion on whether he should receive the death penalty if he is convicted.
