Defense likely to center on deceased brother in Tsarnaev case
The Boston Marathon bombing defense may focus on elder brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev as a key influence and possible participant in a 2011 triple slaying. Dzhokhar’s lawyers are expected to argue the surviving brother shaped his actions while noting Tamerlan’s role as a radical figure and boxing student. Police say the 2013 attack near the finish line killed three and injured over 260.

Clyburn, with degrees from Allen University and USC, previously led Aiken 2020 Education Committee and served on the South Aiken High School advisory council. He aims to implement reforms from preschool to university, including programs like First Steps, and supports STEM initiatives. The group includes seven legislators, industry and education leaders, plus five plaintiffs from a key Abbeville County case, with Lucas stressing input from job creators.
