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.

He cast himself as an anti-establishment reformer who could break partisan gridlock and win new converts to the party, saying his fellow Republicans fall prey to the allure of special interests in Washington. "The Washington machine that gobbles up our freedoms and invades every nook and cranny of our lives must be stopped," he told cheering supporters while standing on a flag-draped stage in Louisville, Kentucky.
