Boston marathon bomber Dzhokar Tsarnaev's lawyers have requested that their client's trial be moved outside of Boston, claiming that local juror would be biased.
According to the filing, the defense lawyers believe that a jury made up of people from Boston would find Tsarnaev guilty and recommend giving him the death penalty due to their own feelings rather than the facts of the case.
"Put simply, prejudicial media coverage, events and environment saturated greater Boston, including the social networks of actual trial jurors, and made it an improper venue for the trial of this case," they wrote.
