Prosecutors knock down Tsarnaev's push for delay in Jan. 5 trial

AKIPRESS.COM - Prosecutors in the Boston Marathon bombing case today called accused terrorist Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's renewed push for a delay in the Jan. 5 trial just more complaints from the accused, the Boston media report Wednesday.

"Tsarnaev can hardly have been surprised by a witness list containing a large number of evidence-handling witnesses," the U.S. Attorney's Office in Boston wrote in a motion filed this afternoon as she attacked the defense team's objections.

"In responding to Tsarnaev’s continuing requests for information, the vast bulk of which is not required by the rules of discovery, the government has gone over and above anything the law requires," prosecutors added.

"Tsarnaev has not identified any information actually required by the rules that the government has failed to produce in a timely fashion," the feds added. "Tsarnaev continues to complain about the volume of case-related information provided by the government even as he demands more and more of it."

The judge has yet to rule on this new request for a delay.

As his day in court draws near, the Chechen national has also asked the judge to ban groupies from outside the federal court in South Boston and he wanted 10 extra juror challenges, but was denied.
