Dzhokhar Tsarnaev admitted to authorities Sunday that he and his brother were behind the Marathon bombings, according to a senior law enforcement official.
Tsarnaev made his admissions to FBI agents who interviewed him at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, where he is being treated for multiple gunshot wounds. He had not yet been given a Miranda warning.
Tsarnaev’s attorneys are certain to challenge the legal admissibility of those admissions, and other information he gave them, such as claiming that he and his brothers acted alone, and that his brother was radicalized in an extreme form of Islam in part because he opposed US actions in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I have no problem with capital punishment from a moral standpoint. None whatsoever. Further, it is a very valuable tool for prosecutors. Offering to take the death penalty off the table for a confession and life without parole is extremely helpful - and saves the people a lot of money that would have gone into a lengthy trial.
Imagine boasting about blowing up bodies....like big ol tough guys...only to be shut up completely a short time after.
Islam is a terrible culture of death which honors the unmerciful killing of non-believers for the sake of terrorizing the fearful.
We allow these abominations to walk freely through our borders...communities and this as if there is some honor in these achievements..... No other social group would be allowed to commit such atrosoties in the name of god and be given carte blanch pass on responsibilities.
Plain and simple... “ the voice of the Islamic community condemning these acts is a faint/weak meow”
For those of you that continue to think Constitutional rights should be thrown out because Bomber is a terrorist you better think about how it could be applied to you when you are determined to be Right Wing Christian terrorist with a gun.
The crux of the argument before SCOTUS was this:
“(d) The Confrontation Clause commands that reliability be assessed in a particular manner: by testing in the crucible of cross-examination. Roberts allows a jury to hear evidence, untested by the adversary process, based on a mere judicial determination of reliability, thus replacing the constitutionally prescribed method of assessing reliability with a wholly foreign one. Pp. 25—27.”

If you are ever charged with a crime you damn well better want your 6th Amendment rights.
I am for capital punnishment....but this guys age is going to come into the mix, and the influence of his brother bigtime....it’s already spewing from the media. So poeple aren’t going to see him as an adult making decisions.
And watch the “drama” of the mother unfold...she is quite the actor...I’d bet she claims to be overwrought , ends up in a clinic somewhere...all to protect herself from her roll in influencing her sons in the way of Islam.
Let’s not forget the picture of him supposedly getting out of the boat where it doesn’t look like he had just tried to blow his head off.
Something is amiss with that photo.
I am waiting for the ACLU or someone to claim he was trying to surrender and the police shot him in the head.
I don’t have a problem with that photo not showing the wound....only one side of his head is showing....and we don’t see the other wound in the leg either. Either way his wounds were not the issue as much as the loss of blood weakened him.
The great part in all this is no vital organ was hit....so any way the authorities chose to buy some time along the way is good for me.
I’m not ready to see what was or not a cover-up....just too many loose ends all around....not to mention the family issues, if or not they’ll be the next feature of the show,
but there is certainly pieces along coming together.
Either way...the two were brutal murderers. I have no empathy or sympathy for them.
The guy lost a lot of blood from being injured. He had just been flash banged.
And supposedly he just tried to commit suicide by shooting himself in the head through the mouth.
He has remarkable strength to pull himself up and out of that boat after trying to blow his brains out.
Here’s a good photo of the boat with the blood from his head wound....and other wounds.
It’s a good thing he was on Medicaid, those transfusions are expensive.
Got 4 units last time I was operated on.
.......he was shot in his head, neck, legs and hand, according to federal authorities...before he got out of the boat

after he is on the ground. that puny little kid is really really strong to pull himself up and over that boat after shooting up his throat
Are you talking about taking the 5th??
No, I am talking about the 6th Amendment.
Read it.
“There’s absolutely no reason to hit him. This isn’t the mob. And by now they have made a video of his testimony and he has signed affidavits. Damn right it will hold up in court.”
6th Amendment.
Read it.
There are likely other precedence if the dude is dead.
A Doctor explains the wound....

He was a wrestler....so am not surprised.
“There are likely other precedence if the dude is dead.”
No.
Find it.
If the perp can be shown to have killed the witness..maybe.
You are spouting off stuff as fact when you have no clue.
It sounds like you didn’t even know about the 6th Amendment
