Judge: Tsarnaev trial in Boston

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was arrested on April 19, 2013, after a massive manhunt following an overnight shootout with police in suburban Watertown that left his 26-year-old brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev -- the other man wanted in the bombings -- dead. Authorities say Tsarnaev and his brother were responsible for the Boston Marathon bombing on April 15, 2013.

On April 18, 2013, the FBI released photos and videos of two suspects and pleaded for public help in identifying them.

Tsarnaev was found on April 19, 2013, in a boat that was dry-docked in the backyard of a Watertown, Massachusetts, home. He was covered in blood from bullet wounds suffered during a manhunt that brought Boston to a standstill.

The August 2013 cover of Rolling Stone featuring Tsarnaev sparked a backlash against the magazine.

• Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is accused in the Boston Marathon bombing, killing police officer


• He wants to move the trial out of Massachusetts, saying he can't get a fair trial there


• A judge denies his request, saying an "impartial jury" can be impaneled in the area


• Tsarnaev's trial is being delayed, though, until early next year

(CNN) -- A federal judge on Wednesday denied Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's bid to move the location of his upcoming trial, even while moving back its scheduled start date.

Explaining his decision to have a jury weigh Tsarnaev's fate near where the bombings and subsequent violent incidents with police occurred, U.S. District Judge George O'Toole said, "Although the media coverage in this case has been extensive, at this stage the defendant has failed to show that it has so inflamed and pervasively prejudiced the pool that a fair and impartial jury cannot be impaneled in the (Eastern District of Massachusetts)."

O'Toole's ruling means that the trial in one of the most scarring episodes in Boston history will stay in Boston.

With his older brother Tamerlan, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is accused of planting two explosives hidden inside backpacks on April 15, 2013, along downtown Boston's busy Boylston Street near the marathon's finish line. The bombs exploded 12 seconds apart, killing 8-year-old Martin Richard, 29-year-old Krystle Campbell and Lingzi Lu, a Boston University graduate student from China, and injuring more than 200 others.

Mourning, resolve and quest for answers after deadly bombs

Three days later, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer named Sean Collier was shot and killed on campus -- allegedly by the bombing suspects. Then, early on April 19, authorities say the Tsarnaev brothers hijacked a car in nearby Cambridge, then exchanged gunfire and thew explosives out the window when police began to chase them.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev died in that exchange. His younger brother wasn't found until the next day, bloodied and in a boat parked in a Watertown, Massachusetts, backyard.

The marathon bombings and subsequent manhunt spurred intense media coverage in Massachusetts and beyond. "Boston Pride" became an often repeated mantra in the region as locals rallied in support of one another and in opposition to those behind the violence.

The attention spurred Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to ask for his trial to be moved out of Massachusetts, his lawyers arguing "that pretrial publicity and public sentiment" jeopardized his opportunity for a fair trial.

O'Toole shot down the defense case on several grounds, including the argument that 12 impartial jurors couldn't be found in the area. He noted that Massachusetts' eastern federal district has about 5 million people.

"It stretches the imagination to suggest that an impartial jury cannot be successfully selected from this large pool of potential jurors," the judge wrote.

It's not like only Massachusetts residents know about this case, he added. For a time, this was a huge international story -- meaning that people from coast-to-coast, and not just around Boston, might have formed opinions about it he said.

"It is doubtful whether a jury could be selected anywhere in the country whose members were wholly unaware of the marathon bombings," O'Toole said.

Tsarnaev faces more than 30 federal charges tied to the entire episode, including using and conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction resulting in death.

Bomb suspect pleads not guilty

Federal prosecutors announced earlier this year that they will seek the death penalty against him, arguing he acted in "an especially heinous, cruel and depraved manner" and lacks remorse.

While Tsarnaev wasn't able to move his trial location, he did win -- at least partially -- in one regard Wednesday: His trial date has been delayed.

The defense had asked that the trial be pushed back from November 3 to September 1, 2015, due to the large volume of information -- or "discovery" -- in the case.

O'Toole delayed the trial until January 5, 2015, not long after the final pretrial conference hearing set for December 18.

• Joan Lunden poses for People magazine without her wig


• The longtime health advocate says she wanted to empower other women


• Lunden revealed a breast cancer diagnosis in June

(CNN) -- Joan Lunden made a bold move when she posed for the cover of this week's People magazine.

The former "Good Morning America" host appears with sparkling eyes and a broad smile, but without her trademark golden locks.

At 64, Lunden is fighting an aggressive form of breast cancer, and has shaved her head as she goes through treatment.

While she could have worn a wig for People's photo shoot, the longtime health advocate saw an opportunity to raise awareness.

"I had to make this big decision about whether or not to do the cover with no hair," Lunden told People. "It certainly isn't the comfortable way to go, but I decided I was going to try and help others and show women that this isn't the end of the world. You can go on -- and that was hugely empowering."

Lunden was diagnosed with stage 2 triple-negative breast cancer in June. While sharing the news on "Good Morning America" that month, she got some valuable advice on the ABC program from breast cancer survivor and "GMA" co-anchor Robin Roberts.

"Robin told me waiting for your hair to fall out is excruciating. So I didn't want to wait," Lunden said. "When it starts to go, it's shocking, embarrassing and depressing. Pre-empt it. Get it shaved off. I did that. And I thought it was going to be like the biggest deal in the world. And you know what? I felt I didn't have it done to me. I walked in and I said, 'Do this.'"

After consulting with doctors, Lunden opted for an unconventional treatment plan that calls for chemotherapy -- as opposed to the typical mastectomy or lumpectomy -- with the goal of shrinking her tumors so surgery can be minimal.

"You have all these decisions to make, and you have to make them quickly. I had no choice but to go into warrior mode and take this head-on," Lunden told People.

After 12 weeks of chemotherapy, Lunden learned that two tumors had shrunk by nearly 95%. She was able to bypass the second and more difficult phase of chemotherapy, and after a September 23 surgery to remove the remaining mass she's now focusing on her recovery.

"I was handed an opportunity to learn everything that I can about this and try to help others," she said to People, "the opportunity to turn something bad into something good. And that is the most amazing thing."
