By Elizabeth Barber BOSTON (Reuters) - The jury in the Boston Marathon bombing trial on Tuesday concluded its first day of deliberations without reaching a verdict on whether Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, is guilty of the 2013 attack that killed three people and injured 264 others. Tsarnaev, 21, is also charged with shooting a police officer to death three days after prosecutors contend he and his older brother set of a pair of homemade pressure-cooker bombs at the race's crowded finish line on April 15, 2013. Defense lawyer Judith Clarke readily admitted her client's responsibility on Monday but contended that 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev had been the driving force behind the attack. "The defendant in this case has been neutralized and will never again cause harm," read the statement, signed by Cardinal Sean O'Malley of Boston and three bishops.

Discredited rape story a test for Wenner, Rolling Stone

Posted: 06 Apr 2015 11:15 PM PDT

FILE - In this April 18, 2013 file photo, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame chairman, and "Rolling Stone" magazine editor and publisher, Jann Wenner, speaks during the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony in Los Angeles. Wenner, who founded the magazine as a 20-year-old college dropout, is weathering the stiffest test of Rolling Stone's credibility that the magazine has faced in its 48-year history. On Sunday, April 5, 2015, the magazine retracted last November's story on sexual assault at the University of Virginia in advance of the release of a damning Columbia University report about its reporting and editing, and on Monday, a fraternity named in the story threatened a lawsuit. (Photo by Danny Moloshok/Invision/AP, File)NEW YORK (AP) — Through decades of digging into the private lives of rock stars and providing a forum for colorful writers like Hunter S. Thompson and P.J. O'Rourke, Rolling Stone magazine publisher Jann Wenner has never been afraid to push boundaries.
