YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The trial for accused Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has opened in Massachusetts after defense attorneys failed in their repeated bids to move it out of state. Tsarnaev, and his brother Tamerlan, who died in a shootout with police, are accused of planting bombs at the marathon finish line, killing three people and injuring 264 others. On the trial's first day, defense attorneys acknowledged their client's role in the bombings, but said he was heavily influenced by his older brother. The trial comes as the Council on AmericanIslamic Relations in Florida has announced it will sue the FBI for $30 million on behalf of the family of an unarmed Chechen man killed during questioning over his ties to the Tsarnaev brothers. The FBI says an agent shot Ibragim Todashev in selfdefense after Todashev attacked him, but his parents have accused the FBI of killing their son "in cold blood." We speak to Kade Crockford, director of the Technology for Liberty project at the ACLU of Massachusetts.
