Tsarnaev could face the death penalty if convicted. His lawyers say Tsarnaev took part in the 2013 bombing that killed three people and injured more than 260. But they say his older brother Tamerlan was a radical Muslim who masterminded the bombing. Tamerlan died in a confrontation with police.
The questions unsealed Tuesday also probed jurors' connections to the bombings, their media habits and religion. Jurors were asked if they knew anyone from Chechnya or Dagestan, where the Tsarnaevs came from.
More than 1,300 received the questionnaires in January. Twelve jurors and six alternates began hearing testimony March 4.
