Lawyers for Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev say FBI agents violated their client’s rights by questioning him after he asked for a lawyer 10 times from his hospital bed.
The L.A. Times reports the 20-year-old suspect was in pain, according to defense attorneys who also said authorities had determined there was no lingering threat to public safety went they interrogated him in April 2013.

Set him free I’d give him a year to survive at the outmost!
Nope, nor FBI, CIA, or any other alphabet person but in my life have watched. Guess am a skeptic. Have been accused though of being one of the alphabet persons. Does that count?
Too bad there are not anymore Judge
Parkers around! Anymore
I’d volunteer, if they’d let me. Hell, I’d personally spring the trap door, if they’d let me.
America is about to get a powerful lesson on just WHY Bush established Gitmo and Military Tribunals.
This looks like the gallows at Fort Smith, Arkansas, my hometown (Judge Parker did his share to rid the territory of outlaws, back in ‘the day’).
Agreed. This sort of thing is S.O.P. for defense attorneys. If all this stuff isn't covered now, then it would set him up for a successful appeal down the road. Let's get all these goofy arguments out of the way now.
I'd love to get down that way to visit the National Park. In studying that era of history, I am surprised at just how little time it took to convert Ft. Smith from a wild outlaw town into a nice town of church goers with predictable and consistent application of Judge Parker's special hempen therapy.
They can’t, he is an American Citizen. Throwing him in Gitmo is a short step to sending the rest of us to the camps.
There’s no chance of him going free over this. At most, he might get the statements that were made during those interrogations declared inadmissible.
“There is not a reasonable doubt of his guilt.”
Well, in the USA, that is for a court to decide.
“He has no rights.”
Guilty or innocent, everyone has rights.
Nah, once the Feds have you on a terrorism charge, you have no rights. Hope Cliven Bundy is paying attention. Let’s Roll!

It’s not the defense attorney’s job to worry about the victims. His job is to worry about his client. Disgusting job, but someone’s gotta do it. That’s our system.
Sure, that’s why his lawyers are able to argue this in court and the media is covering the story, obviously because we are living in a brutal dictatorship where people’s rights are just stripped away. /sarc
