Boston bomber trial lawyers rest case

Lawyers for Boston Marathon bomber Dzkokhar Tsarnaev have rested their case in his death penalty trial after presenting a brief case aimed at showing his late older brother was the mastermind of the 2013 terror attack.

The defence admitted during opening statements that Tsarnaev participated in the bombings. But Tsarnaev’s lawyer said he was a troubled 19-year-old who had fallen under the influence of his radicalised brother, Tamerlan, 26.
