The Boston bombing suspect captured Friday was charged with using a weapon of mass destruction against persons and property in the U.S. resulting in death.
With the accused in serious condition, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s initial court appearance was conducted today by a federal magistrate judge in his hospital room.
Officials legally had 72 hours to charge him following his arrest.
Gary H. Wente, circuit executive for the federal courts in the First Circuit, confirmed the rumored bedside arraignment to the Globe Monday afternoon.
Reports indicate that Tsarnaev is conscious and has even responded to some questions in writing, however the extent of his injuries remains unclear.
Equally unknown is what he was asked or how he answered.
In any case, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev also faces the charge of malicious destruction of property by means of an explosive device resulting in death.
Three people were killed and more than 170 were hurt, many severely, in last week’s dual blasts near the finish line of the annual Boston Marathon.
The charges carry the possibility of the death penalty or life in prison for the 19-year-old, who remains at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
The federal public defender’s office has been assigned to Tsarnaev’s case.
That’s all on video captured by a local surveillance cameras, according to the criminal complaint filed Monday against the Dhzokhar Tsarnaev, the only surviving suspect in last week’s bombings, which killed three people and maimed more than two hundred others. The complaint lays out the government’s view of events, but it’s not proof of guilt, Tsarnaev’s culpability will be decided in court. The document charges Tsarnaev with using a weapon of mass destruction (federal law defines almost any explosive as WMD) and malicious destruction of property causing death. More charges could be forthcoming.Republican lawmakers had demanded that Tsarnaev, a naturalized American citizen, be held in indefinite military detention, the complaint affirms the Obama administration’s decision to keep Tsarnaev within the federal criminal justice system. It also upholds Obama’s promise not to put an American citizen in indefinite military detention. American citizens are not eligible to be tried by military commission, but more detainees at Gitmo have died than have been successfully tried in that system anyway.
The complaint goes into detail about how the police found the Tsarnaev brothers after they allegedly carried out the bombing. “Did you hear about the Boston explosion? I did that,” one of the brothers told a man they allegedly carjacked Thursday night, according to the complaint. The carjacking victim escaped while the brothers were shopping at a convenience store. The ensuing gunfight during which Dzhokhar’s brother Tamerlan was killed occurred when local Boston police located the stolen car, which, according to the complaint, contained two additional unexploded homemade bombs. Tsarnaev was found several hours later hiding in a boat in a Watertown backyard, with gunshot wounds to his neck, head, legs and hand.”
