The first step in the trial, jury selection for accused bomber, Joe [ UNKNOWN ] is set to begin. But with a pool of about 1200 people, selection isn't expected to be a quick process. Speaker: They're being called in panels. 200, 250 at a time. Wow. Two panels a day. They will fill out questionnaires, and then they will get weeded out. They are predicting four to six weeks. I think that it's realistic. A juror must first be able to sit through a trial that could take as long as five months. And like other high profile cases. They must prove the publicity has not made them bias. Lastly, and this is specific to the state of Massachusetts, a juror must state they're open to the possibility of handing down a death penalty. In Massachusetts, the death penalty is banned but it's still a possible outcome for Tsarnaev because the trial will take place in a federal court. As for the trial itself, analysts say it's a clear cut matter of life or death for Tsarnaev. They cite things like multiple killings, use of explosive devices, use of weapon of mass destruction. Those are very, very strong. I mean I think this is a very strong death penalty case. I have to be honest with you. It's gonna be an uphill battle. An overarching consensus as to what we might see for. From the defense is a transfer of blame away from Dzhokhar and onto his late brother Tamerlan. Another factor working in Tsarnaev's favor is his lawyer, Judy Clarke. Clarke is known for saving the lives of convicted criminals like Jared Loughner, the man who killed six people and shot congresswoman Gabby Giffords, Unabomber Ted Kaczynski, and olympic park bomber Eric Rudolph. After jury selection, the trial will likely last months as the prosecution has reportedly called hundreds of witnesses. Tsarnaev has pleaded not guilty to all 30 federal charges against him. That include the charge of using a weapon of mass destruction resulting in death. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"What to Expect From Boston Bomber Trial","description":"Jury selection begins Monday in the case of accused Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
