Boston bomber's friend's trial begins today

July 07, 2014 21:50

One month before Dzhokhar Tsarnaev allegedly helped his big brother detonate two bombs at the finish line of the 2013 Boston Marathon, Tsarnaev told his two roommates he wanted to die a martyr. "As you die with a smile on your face and go straight to heaven," prosecutors said on Monday during the trial of Azamat Tazhayakov. Tazhayakov, Tsarnaev's friend, is being tried for obstruction of justice. Tazhayakov has pleaded not guilty to obstruction of justice and conspiracy charges. He is accused of removing a backpack, fireworks that had been emptied of their black powder and a laptop from Tsarnaev's dorm room after the bombings.
