A number of large white poster boards are leaning against both the gov't and defense tables, suggesting visual aids during their openings.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 20s 21 seconds ago
The judge has now called a sidebar, and attorneys are conferring with him. #Tsarnaev remains seated alone at defense table @NECN

 

[YESorNO]

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 51s 51 seconds ago
#Tsarnaev is, of course, not in handcuffs or shackles, but there are several U.S. Marshals in the courtroom watching him closely @NECN

Milton Valencia @MiltonValencia · 1m 1 minute ago
When #tsarnaev legal team goes up to sidebar, an associate of the team, not one of his lawyers, moves seats to sit by him, so not alone.

Patricia Wen @globepatty · 1m 1 minute ago
Sidebar is rather lengthy, but no way to tell what it is about. Judge has not said how much time he is giving to each side's openings yet.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 23s 23 seconds ago
Survivors are seated on the left side of the courtroom, #Tsarnaev is on the right, with his back to them. @NECN

Patricia Wen @globepatty · 27s 27 seconds ago
Judge O'Toole is laughing w/lawyers now at sidebar, so issue does not appear particularly contentious

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 46s 47 seconds ago
“@ScottUri99: @AlyshaNECN Did the judge set a time limit on opening statements?” He may have but it has not been made public.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 19s 20 seconds ago

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 24s 25 seconds ago
Judge GRANTS government's motion, but says it can sometimes be difficult to determine what is considered mitigating evidence @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 2m 2 minutes ago
This basically means the govt may have to object & judge will have to rule on a case-by-case basis on mitigating evidence @NECN #Tsarnaev

WBUR Live @wburLive · 26s 27 seconds ago
Judge O'Toole "generally" grants motion to prevent defense from preventing mitigating evidence before verdict on guilt. #Tsarnaev

Milton Valencia @MiltonValencia · 2m 2 minutes ago
Judge generally grants government motion to keep mitigating arguments from first phase of trial, but says will be a live issue #tsarnaev

WBUR Live @wburLive · 2m 2 minutes ago
O'Toole adds, because there's no clear definition of mitigating evidence, there will be some, esp. on Tamerlan's influence on #Tsarnaev

Milton Valencia @MiltonValencia · 2m 2 minutes ago
Don't believe so RT @katiemill300 @MiltonValencia Is #Tsarnaev 's family there in the court?

Judge said in guilt-innocence phase of trial, he will allow evid re: Tsarnaev role, but not whether he more/less culpable than older brother

Patricia Wen @globepatty · 2m 2 minutes ago
Judge said that he will later allow some evidence re: the rel betw Tsarnaev and his brother, Tamerlan, given this has conspiracy charge
