BOSTON — Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, one of the Boston Bombing suspects arrived in court Wednesday, as he faces over 30 felony charges for allegedly setting off weapons of mass destruction at the Boston Marathon earlier this year which killed 3 people and wounded hundreds. Tsarnaev is also accused of killing a police officer from MIT.
Tasarnaev could be facing the death penalty under federal charges even in the State of Massachusetts which hasn’t practiced the death penalty in over 65 years.
According to ABC, “Tsarnaev’s mother, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva, told ABC News today that she and her husband will be monitoring the trial from their home in Makhachkala, the capital of Dagestan, a restive region of southern Russia. Zubeidat, who has an open arrest warrant in Massachusetts in connection with a shoplifting charge, said she hoped to travel to the U.S., but only once she has assurances she’ll be able to see her son.
Zubeidat said her daughters, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s sisters, had planned to attend the hearing today to support their brother.
Tsarnaeva was able to speak at least once by phone with her son, who is recovering from his wounds in prison. According to a recording of the call in late May, which was reported by British Channel 4, Dzhokhar sought to reassure his mother.”

The aunt of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s, reported via phone to independent journalist Dan Dicks, Press For Truth, that the brother and alleged accomplice in the crimes is still alive and well. The brother was identified by the aunt after he was filmed by local news crews being stuffed into a police car naked.
