The Boston Marathon Bomber suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev will have his trial this coming Monday, despite his attorneys’ efforts to move the trial outside of Boston; Tsarnaev’s attorneys believe that he will not get a fair trial in Boston, because the location where the trial is taking place is no less than a few miles from where the bombing occurred, and that this aspect of the case will make jurors biased.

Tsarnaev is pleading not-guilty t0 30 charges that are connected to the April 2013 explosions in Boston that wounded more than 260 people and killed three. Tsarnaev will be facing the death penalty if convicted.

Tsarnaev’s attorney has tried twice to have the trial delayed and moved to another location, but the U.S. District Court Judge George O’ Toole denied the appeal. The only hope of Tsarnaev’s legal team at this moment to get the trial moved out of Boston, is an appeal from higher courts.

One of the major factors in Judge O’Toole’s decision to deny the appeal to move the trial out of Boston is the number of jurors that have already been summoned for this case, over 1,200. O’ Toole believes that to delay this case further would inconvenience too many people and create general unrest.

In an article from the Boston Globe O’ Toole was reported stating: “Those persons have likely arranged their affairs in reliance on the dates given them in their summonses, and any change in reporting dates would cause some unknown degree of disruption to those people.’’

Judge O’ Toole also remarked in the same article from the Boston Globe that the defense has known since last September that the trial would take place January 5th, so trying to postpone and move it now is unacceptable.

As of now the trial is scheduled to begin Monday January 5th, 2015 at the district courthouse in South Boston.
