Alleged marathon bomber's wallet had receipts for backpacks, from ammo store

Posted: Updated:
BOSTON (AP) - Lawyers for Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev have shown the jury that his older brother had receipts from an ammunition store and for two backpacks and a soldering gun purchased in the days and weeks before the attacks.

Tsarnaev faces the possibility of the death penalty in the deadly 2013 attack. His lawyers admitted he participated in the attack but portrayed his late brother, Tamerlan, as the mastermind.

While cross-examining a fingerprint expert Wednesday, Tsarnaev's lawyers asked him to identify receipts found inside Tamerlan's wallet. Also in the wallet was a MoneyGram receipt reflecting a $900 transfer to Russia by Tamerlan.

Prosecutors say the brothers planted pressure-cooker bombs inside two backpacks near the marathon finish line. Three people were killed and more than 260 injured.
