BOSTON (AP) — Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (joh-HAHR' tsahr-NEYE'-ehv) has been convicted on all 30 counts in the 2013 bombing of the Boston Marathon. A federal jury in Boston today found Tsarnaev guilty in the terror attack that killed three people and wounded more than 260. He kept his hands folded in front of him and looked down at the defense table as the guilty verdicts were read. The jury will now decide whether the 21-year-old former college student should be sentenced to death or receive life in prison.

BOSTON (AP) — The conviction in the Boston Marathon bombing case was widely expected, given the startling admission by a defense lawyer during opening statements that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (joh-HAHR' tsahr-NEYE'-ehv) took part in the bombing. But the lawyer also argued that Tsarnaev's older brother, Tamerlan, masterminded the attack and enlisted his then-19-year-old brother to help. Prosecutors portrayed the brothers as full partners in a plan to retaliate against the U.S. for its wars in Muslim countries.

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — There may be some more video of the events leading up to Saturday's fatal shooting of a black man in South Carolina by a white police officer. Police in North Charleston say a state agency hopes to release dash-cam video that will help shed light on what happened before the shooting. Video taken by a witness shows the officer, Michael Slager, firing eight times at Walter Scott, who was running away. Slager has been charged with murder, and he's been fired.

WASHINGTON (AP) — It looks like there's little common ground among Federal Reserve officials on when they might begin lifting interest rates from record lows. The minutes from the March meeting reveal that several policymakers predicted a rate hike in June. But others -- who were concerned about low inflation -- didn't think an increase would be warranted until later this year. And still others said the economy wouldn't be strong enough for an increase until next year.

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Forecasters say severe weather developing in the nation's midsection could be stronger than previously expected. And it could ultimately stretch from the plains of West Texas to the Appalachian (ap-ah-LA'-chihn) Mountains. Heat, humidity and the approach of a jet stream could help generate storms this afternoon and evening. Strong storms are expected again tomorrow in the mid-Mississippi River Valley. More than 30 million people are under at least a slight risk of seeing damaging winds, large hail and possibly a tornado.
