Tsarnaev was indicted Thursday on charges including using a weapon of mass destruction and bombing a place of public use, resulting in death.

Three people were killed and more than 260 injured in twin explosions near the finish line of the marathon on April 15, 2013.

Tsarnaev's older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, died following a shootout with police several days later.

Authorities say the brothers used shrapnel-packed pressure cooker bombs in the bombing. They are also accused of killing an MIT police officer.

The U.S. attorney's office says 17 of the charges against the 19-year-old Tsarnaev could bring life in prison or the death penalty.

He is scheduled to be arraigned on July 10, in U.S. District Court in Boston.
