The selection of jurors who will deliver a sentence to Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has begun

More than a year and a half after the terrorist attack that occurred during the Boston Marathon, jury charges began to be sentenced to the main suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. 21-year-old terrorist could face a death sentence.

The selection of jurors will last several weeks due to the pressure exerted by the media. The process may be delayed if the candidates are categorically opposed to a possible death sentence.

Prosecutors argue that, in view of the evidence that confirms Tsarnaev’s guilt, the defendant’s defenders will focus on protecting him from the death sentence when he is found guilty.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, his older brother - the main suspect in the case and the now deceased Tamerlan Tsarnaev, two sisters and parents lived for some time in Dagestan and were likely subjected to pressure as natives of Chechnya.

It is expected that lawyers Tsarnaeva will try to cause the jury pity for the young man, as well as refer to possible mental disorders, writes AmericaRu.com
