Waltham
The Waltham triple homicide prompted proposed penalty-phase evidence alleging Tamerlan Tsarnaev's participation, which the Court excluded because the evidence did not establish his participation or relative role. The defense also sought investigative materials from state and federal authorities. Separately, Dun Meng testified that Tamerlan drove toward Waltham after leaving a Bank of America ATM, then made a U-turn.
About
The Waltham evidence dispute concerned allegations of Tamerlan's prior violence and their relevance to the brothers' relative culpability. The Court's exclusion prevented the proposed homicide evidence from being presented in the penalty phase.
