Associated Press= WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) — The defense and the government have filed a joint court motion that asks a judge to release one of the friends of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (joh-HAHR' tsahr-NEYE'-ehv) from federal custody while awaiting trial.

Robel Phillipos is scheduled to have a probable cause and detention hearing Monday after his arrest last week on charges of lying to investigators looking into the Boston Marathon bombings.
