Podcasts about Dzhokhar

In Maximum Harm, veteran investigative journalist Michele R. McPhee unravels the complex story behind the public facts of the Boston Marathon bombing. She examines the bombers' roots in Dagestan and Chechnya, their struggle to assimilate in America, and their growing hatred of the United States―a deepening antagonism that would prompt federal prosecutors to dub Dzhokhar Tsarnaev “America's worst nightmare.” The difficulties faced by the Tsarnaev family of Cambridge, Massachusetts, are part of the public record. Circumstances less widely known are the FBI's recruitment of the older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, as a “mosque crawler” to inform on radical separatists here and in Chechnya; the tracking down and killing of radical Islamic separatists during the six months he spent in Russia―travel that raised eyebrows, since he was on several terrorist watchlists; the FBI's botched deals and broken promises with regard to his immigration; and the disenchantment, rage, and growing radicalization of Tamerlan and Dzhokhar, along with their mother, sisters, and Tamerlan's wife, Katherine. Maximum Harm is also a compelling examination of the Tsarnaev brothers' movements in the days leading up to the Boston Marathon bombing on April 15, 2013, the subsequent investigation, the Tsarnaevs' murder of MIT police officer Sean Collier, the high-speed chase and shootout that killed Tamerlan, and the manhunt in which the authorities finally captured Dzhokhar, hiding in a Watertown backyard. McPhee untangles the many threads of circumstance, coincidence, collusion, motive, and opportunity that resulted in the deadliest attack on the city of Boston to date.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

On 15 April 2013, brothers Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev set off two bombs at the Boston Marathon and killed three people. After the attack they disappeared, only to resurface three days later in the quiet city of Watertown, Massachusetts. The local police force were dispatched to catch the terrorists. An eight-minute gun fight followed, and pressure cooker bombs were hurled down the street at officers. Watertown's chief of police, Edward Deveau, was in charge of detaining the brothers. Ten years later, he speaks to Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty. (Picture: Chief of police Edward Deveau. Credit: Getty Images)

Misprision of felony is a form of misprision, and an offense under the common law of England that is no longer active in many common law countries. Where it was or is active, it is classified as a misdemeanor. It consists of failing to report knowledge of a felony to the appropriate authorities. Exceptions were made for close family members of the felon and where the disclosure would tend to incriminate him of that offense or another. With the development of modern law, this crime has been discarded in many jurisdictions, and is generally only applied against persons placed in a special position of authority or responsibility. In this case, the offense of misfeasance in public office or malfeasance in public office may be considered instead. For example, corrections officers who stand idly by while drug trafficking occurs within the prison may be prosecuted for this crime. It has been abolished in: England, Wales and Scotland, as part of the criminal law reforms that abolished the distinction between misdemeanor and felony—Criminal Law Act 1967, section 1, Northern Ireland, with the Criminal Law Act (Northern Ireland) 1967— section 1, Ireland, with the Criminal Law Act 1997, section 3, and New South Wales, Australia, with the Crimes Act 1900—section 341. In some cases, misprision has been replaced by a more tightly-defined statutory offense. For example, in England and Wales, the 1967 Act states that a person who has information which might lead to the prosecution of an arrestable offense—and who agrees to accept consideration in exchange for not disclosing it—is liable on conviction on indictment to imprisonment. United States federal law. Misprision of felony remains an offense under United States federal law having been enacted in 1790 and codified in 1909 under 18 U.S.C. § 4: Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of the United States, conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both. U.S. courts have held that misprision of a felony requires active concealment of a known felony rather than simple failure to report it. If one knows that one is a target of a federal investigation, it is illegal under the Sarbanes–Oxley Act to erase one's browser history intentionally. Khairullozhan Matanov was prosecuted for erasing computer records about his friends, Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev; he pleaded guilty to a lesser included offense in 2015. The federal misprision of felony statute is usually used only in prosecutions against defendants who have a special duty to report a crime, such as a government official. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/support

At 2:49 pm on April 15, 2013, a pressure cooker bomb containing ball bearings and nails, exploded near the finish line of the Boston Marathon on Boylston Street. 14 seconds later, another bomb exploded 200 yards away. As the crowd began to panic and run, police officers and medical personnel jumped to action. As a result of the bombing, 3 died, including an 8 year old boy, and 264 people were injured. The suspects, later identified three days later, were Tamerlan Tsarnaev (26) and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (19). The brothers immigrated from Kyrgyzstan in 2002. Tamerlan was an amateur boxer, while Dzhokhar studied Marine Biology at UMass Dartmouth. The brothers, who were practicing muslims, had a disliking towards the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, more so Tamerlan (who influenced Dzhokhar). Tamerlan wanted revenge for what US forces were doing to the muslim community in both countries. On April 18, after their identities were posted everywhere, they shot and killed an MIT police officer while he was sitting in his cruiser. They then stole an Mercedes SUV and held the driver hostage. While they stopped for gas, the hostage escaped and called 911. After the Mercedes was ID'd, police attempted to stop the car, but a shootout ensued. Tamerlan was accidentally ran over by his brother while Dzhokhar was trying to flee. He died an hour later. The entire city of Boston and its surrounding areas were placed on lockdown as a manhunt began. The next day, Dzhokhar was found hiding in a parked boat in someone's backyard. He was arrested and charged with 30 counts. He was sentenced to death on June 24, 2015. 

Michele McPhee : Maximum Harm: The Tsarnaev Brothers, the FBI, and the Road to the Marathon BombingIn Maximum Harm, veteran investigative journalist Michele R. McPhee unravels the complex story behind the public facts of the Boston Marathon bombing. She examines the bombers' roots in Dagestan and Chechnya, their struggle to assimilate in America, and their growing hatred of the United States―a deepening antagonism that would prompt federal prosecutors to dub Dzhokhar Tsarnaev “America's worst nightmare.” The difficulties faced by the Tsarnaev family of Cambridge, Massachusetts, are part of the public record. Circumstances less widely known are the FBI's recruitment of the older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, as a “mosque crawler” to inform on radical separatists here and in Chechnya; the tracking down and killing of radical Islamic separatists during the six months he spent in Russia―travel that raised eyebrows, since he was on several terrorist watchlists; the FBI's botched deals and broken promises with regard to his immigration; and the disenchantment, rage, and growing radicalization of Tamerlan and Dzhokhar, along with their mother, sisters, and Tamerlan's wife, Katherine. Maximum Harm is also a compelling examination of the Tsarnaev brothers' movements in the days leading up to the Boston Marathon bombing on April 15, 2013, the subsequent investigation, the Tsarnaevs' murder of MIT police officer Sean Collier, the high-speed chase and shootout that killed Tamerlan, and the manhunt in which the authorities finally captured Dzhokhar, hiding in a Watertown backyard.

Vuonna 2013 maailma järkyttyi, ku Bostonin maratonin aikaa maaliviivan läheisyydessä räjähti kaksi pommia. Pommitusten takana olivat veljekset, Dzhokhar ja Tamerlan Tsarnaev. Tämä jaksi keskittyy siihen, kuka Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on ja mitä hänelle on tapahtunut pommitusten jälkeen.

The early hours of April 19th, 2013 in Watertown Massachusetts, while nervous residents peeked out of their windows, a shootout between police and the 2 suspects of the Boston Bombing was resulting in more bloodshed... 210 rounds were fired at the 2 brothers responsible...and, there were more explosions- ..an end to a week that had already been terrifying, and devastating. Tamerlan Tsarnaev was dead and his brother Dzhokhar was on the loose, in a residential area of Boston. When would the terror end? In this episode, we dive into the manhunt, the investigation, the psychology of terrorism and how justice was finally received for the victims of the Boston Marathon Bombing.

Now that the Court of Appeals overturned Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's death penalty convictions, prosecutors must decide whether to retry him or simply settle for life imprisonment. Hear the ups and downs of Dzhokhar’s life, and you decide.

Now that the Court of Appeals overturned Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's death penalty convictions, prosecutors must decide whether to retry him or simply settle for life imprisonment. In this episode, you will hear the ups and downs of Dzhokhar’s life, so you can ask yourself: what would you do if you were the prosecutor. Dzhokhar was only 19 when he, along with his older brother, Tamerlan, brought pressure cooker bombs to the finish line of the Boston Marathon in 2013. This terrorist attack killed 3 people and wounded almost 300. Dzhokhar was convicted of 30 charges, some of which - the ones that carried a death sentence - were just overturned upon appeal, after his attorneys claimed his trial was unfair. The grounds for appeal included the location of the trial being too near the site of the bombing, and bias of jurors whose social media posts indicated they'd decided against Dzhokhar before the trial had even begun. His dysfunctional family and crushed American dreams made him vulnerable to his brother’s radical terrorist beliefs. Was he just a lost boy entrapped by his mastermind brother, or an equally evil terrorist? And does he deserve to die?

Today, a federal appeals court has overturned the death penalty for Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. The ruling cites a judge’s error that has resulted in the reversal of three of Tsarnaev’s convictions along with the motion to vacate the death sentence. The court has ordered a new penalty phase trial. The three-judge panel of the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals did reiterate that despite this ruling: “Make no mistake: Dzhokhar will spend his remaining days locked up in prison, with the only matter remaining being whether he will die by execution.” Do you want to see Tsarnaev get the death penalty or are you satisfied with him spending the rest of his life in prison? Former Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis joins Dan to discuss this breaking news.

It's April 15, 2013. Families, friends and bystanders are crowded on the sidewalks as athletes are nearing the finish line at the 117th annual Boston Marathon. What they don't know is that Dzhokhar and Temerlan TSARNAEV, two brothers originating from Chechnya, are standing at a distance waiting for their homemade pressure cooker bombs to go off and rip through the masses. At 2:49 pm, they did just that, killing three people and injuring hundreds. During an unprecedented manhunt, the brothers kill an MIT Police Officer, kidnap and carjack a man and get into an intense shootout with police where hundreds of rounds are fired.

On this episode we dive into the horrific acts of April 15, 2013, when two home made explosives detonated during the Boston Marathon killing three and injuring many more. The film Patriots Day tells the story of those who were affected by the events of that day and the members of law enforcement who hunted down the brothers Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev who were responsible for the bombing.

On this day in 2013, 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev died from his injuries after a shootout with the police. Tamerlan, along with his younger brother Dzhokhar, was suspected of bombing the Boston Marathon.

In September of 2011, a morbid saga began to play out in a suburb of Boston named Waltham.The bodies of 37-year-old Raphael "Rafi" Teken, 31-year-old Erik Weissman, and 25-year-old Brendan Mess were found in Brendan's second-story apartment. The specific circumstances of their deaths pointed to a vicious killer with personal motives, and robbery was immediately ruled out as a potential motive. The case quickly went cold, but attention would be drawn to it more than a year later, when one of the largest acts of terrorism in American history began to unfold in neighboring Boston...

An appeals court is now deciding whether or not convicted Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev will get a new trial. WBZ NewsRadio's Kim Tunnicliffe reports.

Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is now on death row in the notorious ADX supermax prison in Colorado with the rest of the country's worst terrorists and traitors. His attorneys are now filing his death sentence appeal, asking the court to reverse either the sentence or his convictions and order life in prison instead. Is the death penalty just in this case?

Heather is joined by Tom "Attorney Dad" Frizzell and resident historian Eric Bowsfield to discuss their initial impressions on Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's opening appellate brief. Then they take a deep dive into Dzhokhar's suppressed hospital confession, the contents of which were kept from the public until October 2018, when they were unsealed by Dzhokhar's appellate team. They look at what's there, what isn't, and the likelihood that the entire narrative of this case was created by overzealous FBI agents illegally interrogating a critically injured teenager. For episode extras and more, go to: http://usvtsarnaev.orgTwitter: @USvTsarnaevFB: Http://facebook.com/USvTsarnaevEpisode music: "The Complex" by Kevin MacLeod

More than a month after the jury returned a verdict of death for Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, all the raw wounds were ripped open again, with victim impact statements. And we were once again reminded of the pain and suffering caused by Tsarnaev and his brother Tamerlan. Today, Judge George O’Toole officially carried out the jury’s verdict, a verdict he couldn’t change, and sentenced Tsarnaev to death by execution. But before the judge did that, we heard from Dzhokhar himself, who asked Allah for forgiveness. …

The fate of convicted Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev--his life or death--is now in the hands of 12 jurors. In Day 31, the jury began deliberating, after hearing closing statements. Boeri and Cullen cover the defense's closing, which continued to hammer home that Dzhokhar's older brother Tamerlan was the lead on the attacks, and that a life sentence for Tsarnaev would serve as both "justice and mercy." And they discuss the government's closing, which said Tsarnaev's actions--the killing of four and the maiming of dozens more--have earned him death.

The May 7, 2015 edition of "Political Analysis" on The Progressive Radio Network featured the work and voices of two documentarians: Marcos Barbery and Neal Broffman. 1.) Marcos Barbery, Director and Producer of the newly-released documentary film "By Blood," which is a contemporary and historical account of the African-American Freedmen of Cherokee descent, who were enslaved by the Cherokee Tribe and have still yet to achieve the rights and benefits they argue are owed to them by the Tribe. The movie raises fascinating questions about race, identity and history and is timely given what's going on as of late in Baltimore, Ferguson and other US cities.Barbery is a filmmaker and journalist and founder of THREAD Productions.The Investigative Fund at The Nation Institute has supported Barbery’s reporting. Barbery's writing has been featured by Long Reads, and appeared in Salon, The Huffington Post, and This Land Press. 2.) Neal Broffman, Director and Producer of the new documentary film "Help Us Find Sunil Tripathi" about Sunil Tripathi, who was initially misidentified as Dzhokhar Tsarnaev during the initial manhunt for Dzhokhar and his now-dead brother Tamerlan (then known as "Suspect One" and "Suspect Two"). Sunil was eventually found dead (having committed suicide) in a river near Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, but not before the damage was done and his name forever tied to the April 2013 bombing. The movie's recent release coincides with the ongoing death penalty phase of USA v. Tsarnaev case occurring in a U.S. District Court in Boston.Sunil's mom Judy and his brother Ravi also came on the show, joining Neal Broffman.Help Us Find Sunil Tripathi had its world premiere in March, 2015 at the Atlanta Film Festival where it won the Audience Award for Feature Film.

The defense for convicted Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has been presenting the jury with a social history of his family. Today, in Day 27, the defense turned the focus to their ethnic homeland of Chechnya. Boeri and Cullen discuss how the long history of the Chechen people influenced the psychiatric well-being of Dzhokhar's father, and how his older brother Tamerlan became unhinged and abusive.

All throughout the federal death penalty trial of convicted Boston Marathon Bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, a key question has been: Will the defense succeed in making him into a sympathetic figure, and in doing so perhaps save his life? After months of sobering testimony, and virtually no sign of emotion or remorse from the defendant, that seemed like an impossible challenge. Boeri and Cullen discuss Day 26, in which that changed and Dzhokhar was moved to tears for the first time, just by seeing and hearing the testimony of some of …

In the days after the FBI identified Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and his brother Tamerlan as suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings, there was a near universal reaction from anyone who had known Dzhokhar -- shock and disbelief -- saying it couldn't be. In Day 25 of the trial against Tsarnaev, Boeri and Cullen discuss an emotional day as the jury finally heard stories from former friends and teachers, painting a picture of a good kid -- lost -- and under the spell of his radicalized older brother.

The guilt of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is now in the hands of a jury. After 16 days of testimony, 95 witnesses and piles of evidence, the 12 jurors will now deliberate on the 30 charges against him. On Day 17, Boeri and Cullen discuss the closing statements by the prosecution and the defense. The government closed with a highlight reel of graphic images from the bombing. And the defense closed by acting as if they were the prosecutors of Dzhokhar's dead older brother, Tamerlan.

After 15 days of testimony from witnesses for the prosecution, attorneys for admitted Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev began to present their case yesterday afternoon. A day and two hours later, the defense rests, having called just four witnesses to the stand. Boeri and Cullen discuss Day 16 and the defense's limited focus in this phase of the trial - on portraying Dzhokhar as following the lead of his older brother Tamerlan.

Less than a month before the Marathon bombing, Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev rented two 9mm handguns for target practice at a shooting range in New Hampshire. The weapons were the same caliber as the gun used to kill an MIT police officer three days after the bombings. Boeri and Cullen discuss the evidence that continued to pile up against Dzhokhar in Day 12 of the trial.

Three days after the Boston Marathon bombing, authorities searched the city in an epic manhunt for the Tsarnaev brothers. That led to a shootout in the Boston suburb of Watertown, the death of the older brother, Tamerlan, and the capture of his younger brother, Dzhokhar. Boeri and Cullen recount the chaos of that shootout and the aftermath - the focus of testimony in Day 7 of the trial.

In the second week of the trial, attention in the courtroom has turned from what happened to why. Boeri and Cullen discuss the defense's focus on Tsarnaev's Twitter feed, and on a nine-minute surveillance video showing Dzhokhar and his older brother Tamerlan walking down Boylston Street on Marathon Day — and why Tamerlan appearing to lead the way could be so meaningful.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the surviving brother of the accused for the Boston marathon bombings, has become a face of the media lately. His prosecution and potential sentence raises many questions for both the public and the legal world. Attorneys and co-hosts Craig Williams and Bob Ambrogi join Attorney Jack Cunha and Professor Douglas Berman to discuss the prosecution and trial of the suspect. • Jack Cunha, of Cunha & Holcomb, is a practicing criminal attorney based in Boston, Massachusetts. A former instructor at Suffolk and Harvard Law Schools, Cunha lectures nationally for various associations and schools such as The National Association of Criminal Defense Attorneys, Harvard Law, and CLE Programs mainly on criminal defense. • Douglas Berman, Professor of Law at The Ohio State University’s Moritz College of Law, has taught a myriad of courses at Ohio State including criminal law, criminal punishment and sentencing, and the death penalty. He is co-author of a casebook, Sentencing Law and Policy: Cases, Statutes, and Guidelines. He also writes a popular blog titled Sentencing Law and Policy. Tune in to hear what these experienced professionals have to say as they answer questions such as: Although Massachusetts outlawed the death penalty in 1984, will prosecutors use federal law to seek the death penalty for Tsarnaev? Will the fact that the suspect is only 19 call for mitigation? and more.
