Lawyers for Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev asked a judge to suspend jury selection in his trial for at least a month because the recent terrorist attacks in France have again placed the marathon bombings "at the center of a grim global drama." The lawyers said Tuesday a delay would allow some time "for the extraordinary prejudice flowing from these events — and the comparison of those events to those at issue in this case — to diminish." They said potential jurors have been instructed to avoid media reports about Tsarnaev's case, but were exposed to reports about the French attacks.
