Jahar Tsarnaev Is To Be Judicially Murdered in Indiana

(Jahar Tsarnaev – Does he look like a terrorist or a patsy?)

by Mary W Maxwell, LLB

Jahar [Dzhokhar] Tsarnaev was tried by a jury in the US District Court in Massachusetts in 2015, two years after the Marathon in which he did not commit the crimes he has been convicted of. He is currently appealing the verdict but the so-called Defense Lawyers are not defending him. After all, the US government wants Jahar to take the rap.

Please see my 2019 book, The Soul of Boston and the Marathon Bombing (Free Download) as to Jahar’s innocence and the FBI’s guilt.

The so-called Defense Team does not show any signs of calling the prosecutor’s attention to the fact that there is exculpatory evidence in file. The judge keeps giving extensions of time to the parties to deal with trivial or irrelevant matters.

Thus it seems that the appellate court will not override the guilty verdict. (They could do so and I hope I am wrong in my prediction. The appeal judge, Judge Juan Torruella, appears to be the sanest of men and a good judge.)

When the Prisoner Is Handed Over to the US Marshal

A federal Death Row prisoner stays in custody of the US Attorney General – currently William Barr – until all appeals are exhausted. At that point he is to be executed and is handed over to the US Marshal. According to 18 USC 3596:

“The United States marshal… shall supervise implementation of the sentence in the manner prescribed by the law of the State in which the sentence is imposed. [That was Massachusetts.] If the law of the State does not provide for implementation of a sentence of death, [Massachusetts has abolished the death penalty] the court shall designate another State, [Judge O'Toole designated Indiana]…, and the sentence shall be implemented in the latter State in the manner prescribed by such law.”

So what does Indiana law say? The death penalty in that state can only be given for murder with aggravated circumstance. One of the listed circumstances is bombing. The penalty is lethal injection.

After the Guilty Verdict of April 8, 2013

The counts of federal crimes on which Jahar Tsarnaev was sentenced to death on May 15, 2015 are:

Count 4 – “Use of a weapon of mass destruction resulting in death,” Count 9 — “Bombing a place of public use resulting in death,” and Count 14 – “Malicious destruction of property resulting in personal injury and death”.

Plus three other counts (5, 10, and 15) of “Possession and Use of a Firearm During and in Relation to a Crime of Violence Resulting in Death.”

I am not sure which of those death counts is associated with each of the following decedents: Martin Richard, Lingzi Lu, and Krystle Campbell, all on Boylston St during the April 15, 2013 Marathon, and Sgt Collier who was seated in his cruise car at MIT three nights later.

Two Groups of Amici

I am an amicus curiae – friend of the court – in Tsarnaev’s appeal. I am in a group of 3 United States citizens whom Judge Torruella allowed to file a statement in November 2017. Subsequently, “eight distinguished citizens of Massachusetts,” including a retired judge of the Massachusetts Supreme Court, were allowed to act as a group of amici curiae.

Minnesota attorney Jack Graham is the counsel for my group, the other two members of which are Prof James Fetzer and Dr Cesar Baruja. Our statement points put that the main evidence presented by the FBI as to the bomb allegedly exploded by Jahar Tsarnave is a black backpack, but he was – in the photo that the FBI uses to identify him – carrying a grey-white backpack.

The prosecution does not have a leg to stand on. As I explain in my book, The Soul of Boston (which is a revised edition of my earlier effort entitled Marathon Bombing: Indicting the Players), both legal teams – prosecution and defense – engaged in extraordinarily unethical behavior.

That, however, does not form part of our amici statement. Rather we rely on the backpack color and on the fact that Jahar’s parents were coerced into coercing their son to accept the Public Defenders Miriam Conrad and Judith Clarke as his attorneys.

I am certain of Jahar’s innocence. I believe the event was a false flag in which Jahar and his late brother Tamerlan were classic patsies.

Much could be ironed out if we could talk to the prisoner but he is under SAM’s – special administrative measures requested by the trial judge George A O’Toole, Jr and carried out by Attorney General Loretta Lynch and now, presumably William Barr.

Thus, if he does not want the team that is currently acting in his appeal to be his representatives he has no way of conveying that information to the world. He is totally incommunicado in Supermax Prison in Colorado.

Frankly, I have fears for the life of the appeals judge, Juan Torruella, who hails from Puerto Rico. He is 85 years old, will turn 86 this week.

Things are not being played by the book. The “reality testing” of the principals seems to me to be way off.
