Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s trial for Boston Marathon bombing begins Monday

Nearly two years after the Boston Marathon tragedy, the trial of one of the accused bombers is set to open Monday — the final chapter of a saga that will forever be ingrained in the city’s history. Starting Monday, the judge, prosecutors, and defense lawyers will start whittling down a list of more than 1,200 names, aiming to find 12 jurors and six alternates capable of deciding whether Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 21, is guilty, and if so, whether he should be put to death.
