Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s lawyers ask for trial delay, citing Paris attacks

Tsarnaev is accused of plotting with his brother and carrying out an attack near the finish line of the Boston Marathon that killed three people, wounded more than 260 and spurred a massive manhunt that terrorized the city for days in 2013.

His attorneys are asking the court to suspend jury selection, which began last week, for at least one month.
