(AP) — Lawyers for Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev asked a federal appeals court again on Tuesday to order the judge to move his trial outside of Massachusetts, arguing he cannot get a fair trial here.

The request was the second time the defense has asked the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to step in and take the decision on whether to move the trial out of the hands of Judge George O'Toole Jr.

The 1st Circuit rejected a similar request last month, before jury selection began.

In their new request, Tsarnaev's lawyers say their review of questionnaires filled out by 1,373 prospective jurors show that 68 percent already believe Tsarnaev is guilty. They said 69 percent have identified some sort of personal connection or allegiance they have to the "people, places and/or events" in the case
