Jurors in the trial of the man accused of the Boston Marathon bombing has ended its first day of deliberations without reaching a verdict.
21-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is facing 30 charges arising out of the attacks which killed three people and injured over 260 others in April 2013. More than half the charges carry the possibility of the death penalty.
If he is convicted, the jury will hear a second round of evidence before deciding whether to sentence Tsarnaev to death, or life in prison.
Dzokhzar Tsarnaev is the surviving brother charged with the blasts that killed three people and injured more than 260 others in April 2013.
The Jury has hear he "wanted to punish America".
Sky's David Bowden is in Washington - he says Tsarnaev claims he wasn't the main driver behind the bombing:

The jury selection process began in January, with the process protracted due to poor weather conditions in Boston. The trial itself got underway at the beginning of March.
