Boston Marathon bomber case returns to court over allegations of jury bias

The case of Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev will return to court on Wednesday as a judge will begin an investigation into whether allegations of jury bias were adequately addressed during his trial.

Earlier this year, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit ruled that the judge in Tsarnaev's 2015 trial did not adequately investigate allegations that two jurors had expressed biased opinions on the case.

On Wednesday, the judge who presided over Tsarnaev's trial will meet with the defense and prosecutors to discuss next steps in the case.

The investigation comes nine years after Tsarnaev was sentenced to death for the 2013 attack that killed three people and injured more than 200 others.
