Lawyers for Boston
Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev asked a judge Wednesday to lift
restrictions placed on him in prison, arguing that the conditions are overly
harsh, have left him nearly totally isolated and are impairing their ability to
defend him.
Tsarnaev's lawyers
said in a motion filed in court that he has been confined to his cell except
for visits from them and has "very limited access" to a small outdoor
enclosure.
Tsarnaev, 20, is
accused of building and planting bombs near the finish line of the April 15
marathon, killing three people and injuring more than 260. Authorities say he
and his older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, ethnic Chechens from Russia who
emigrated to the United States as children, planned and carried out the attack
to retaliate against the U.S. for its involvement in Muslim countries…..To ReadMore….
My Take - Okay....I don’t understand why this maniac
hasn’t been tried yet. Supposedly
“weeks following the bombing that Tsarnaev admitted to the acts, and said he
and his brother acted alone”, but has “since stopped talking with the
government.” I do have a suggestion though. Allow him to mix freely with the prison
population. That would be interesting.
If he survives that, and is found guilty, and sentenced to prison instead of
being executed; then let’s ask the Russians to put him in one of their prisons. I think that would be a good thing. After all, he would be closer to his family,
friends, in a familiar culture and the Russians have special feelings for Chechen
terrorists.
