Defense-proposed photographs of Mr. Tsarnaev leaving the boat; Watkins estimated about five total. Clarke distinguished a previously admitted photograph from a photograph of him on the ground that had not been admitted.

Clarke proposed additional photographs of Tsarnaev leaving the boat, distinguishing an admitted image of him stepping out from an image of him on the ground that had not been admitted. Watkins estimated about five photographs in total and argued that they could explain Tsarnaev's state of mind. The government objected that their timing could mislead the jury, and the court requested the photographs for review without deciding admissibility.

About

The defense proposed the photographs to explain Tsarnaev's state of mind in response to the government's reliance on the boat writings as motive evidence; the government disputed that connection without a foundation linking the timing.
