Jury selection to resume in Marathon bombing trial

BOSTON (AP) -- After two days off due to heavy snow, jury selection is set to begin again in the trial of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.<br /> <br /> Tsarnaev is charged in the 2013 attack that killed three people and injured more than 260. Jury selection in Tsarnaev's federal death penalty trial began Jan. 5.<br /> <br /> Jury selection was canceled Monday and Tuesday after a snowstorm dumped up to 2 feet of snow on Massachusetts. On Wednesday, Judge George O'Toole Jr. will resume questioning prospective jurors individually.<br /> <br /> Tsarnaev's lawyers have repeatedly argued that he cannot receive a fair trial in Boston because of the emotional impact of the bombing and the personal connections many people have to the marathon and people injured in the attack.<br /> <br /> O'Toole has rejected three defense requests to move the trial outside Massachusetts.
