Defense Asks to Ease Prison Restrictions on Dzhokhar Tsarnaev
New York Magazine ^ | 10/3 | Margaret Hartmann

Posted on 10/02/2013 8:44:38 PM PDT by nickcarraway

Lawyers for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev asked a judge on Wednesday to lift restrictions placed on the alleged Boston Marathon bomber that prevent him from communicating with other inmates, or visiting anyone other than his family and legal team. They say the restrictions are "unnecessarily harsh and isolating," and hinder their work on his defense. "He is confined to his cell except for legal visits and very limited access to a small outdoor enclosure, on weekdays, weather-permitting," says the motion. "The purported basis for these conditions lies in the crimes he is alleged to have committed prior to arrest, not any behavior during his confinement."

Attorney General Eric Holder imposed the "Special Administrative Measures," saying there's a "high probability" that Tsarnaev might try to make "calls to co-conspirators to arrange terrorist or criminal activities." The defense questioned whether Holder actually believes that, as Tsarnaev was in custody for four months before the rules were issued, and he "made no effort to communicate with non-family or media" during that time.

I thought the article was going to say he’s been hanging in chains.
But he’s lonely? Poor baby ....

Couple friends me’d like to congratulate him...

I’d suggest leg amputation, a half at a time.

This terrorist scumbag is lucky that he can visit with members of his family.

The families of this terrorist’s innocent victims would like to visit THEIR loved ones, but they can’t, because this creep and his older brother killed them.

I have no sympathy for him.

Doesn't want to take away from that Friday afternoon, late in 2016, when the million-man pardon is announced. Tsarnaev, and probably all the Criminalians across the land in jails will be pardoned.

I bet anyone who armed him will be prosecuted a lot faster than he will be.

Put him outside in a stockade and set off one of his homemade devices. Problem solved.

(from the article):"Attorney General Eric Holder imposed the "Special Administrative Measures," saying there's a "high probability" that Tsarnaev
might try to make "calls to co-conspirators to arrange terrorist or criminal activities."

If Tsarnaev had tried the same crime he is charged with at home ,chances are he wouldn't be alive now .
After all , it's not like he is dangerous or anything, since the pressure cooker bomb is already exploded , and he has no more bombs with him. ... /sarc

So finish the joke! I couldn’t find it on Google.

Hope it’s a new one; I can always use those. :-)

I'm all for letting him out through the same exit that we gave Timothy McVeigh.

We might have actually set a record with that one: six years. Hopefully, we can do better this time around.
