The buffer zone, expanded for the retrial that also began Tuesday morning, is in place to prevent protesters from affecting proceedings in the closely watched murder trial.

The incident began about 8:30 a.m., according to Massachusetts State Police. They said a trooper saw a man lingering inside the buffer zone, and asked him to leave several times while explaining the court order.
The man, identified as 42-year-old Arlington resident Bao Nguyen, didn't leave, and he was arrested over the court order, police said. He was due in Dedham District Court Tuesday afternoon to face a charge of trespassing; it wasn't immediately clear if he had an attorney who could speak to his arrest.
