U.S. high court ruling good for accused Boston bomber's friend: lawyer

By Scott Malone BOSTON (Reuters) - A friend of the accused Boston Marathon bomber convicted of obstructing the investigation into the deadly blasts may be exonerated due to a Supreme Court decision in an unrelated case, one of his attorneys said on Wednesday. A U.S. jury in July found Kazakh exchange student Azamat Tazhayakov guilty of obstruction of justice for removing a backpack containing empty fireworks shells from Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's dorm room at the University of Massachusetts in Dartmouth three days after the April 15, 2013, attack. The high court on Wednesday overturned that conviction.
