Lawyers for Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (joh-HAHR' tsahr-NEYE'-ehv) are asking a judge to dismiss indictments and put proceedings in the case on hold over concerns about the jury selection process in federal court. In a 15-page motion filed late Friday, Tsarnaev's attorneys said their three-year review of procedures used to select both grand juries and trial juries in the District of Massachusetts turned up "substantial violations" of both the jury selection law and a constitutional requirement that juries represent a fair cross-section of the population. http://yhoo.it/1BMEDoM http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
