Opening arguments in the murder trial of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev will likely be delayed because jury selection is taking longer than anticipated, federal court officials said on Thursday.
The process "in the interest of thoroughness is taking longer than
originally anticipated," said Ginny Hurley, the outreach coordinator for the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. "As a result, the previously estimated date for the start of the presentation of the case, January 26, is not realistic."
It's unclear when the trial will progress beyond jury selection, Hurley said.
