Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s lawyers, seeking to spare him from the death penalty, lost a bid to force the U.S. to turn over evidence that may show his older brother radicalized him and led the attack.
The request for material about Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who was killed in a police shootout after the bombing, was denied yesterday in Boston by U.S. District Judge George A. O’Toole Jr., who didn’t elaborate on the decision handed down just days after the one-year anniversary of the terror attack.
