Despite pleading “Not Guilty,” two college friends of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev could possibly face 25 years in prison for obstructing justice. On April 15th, Tsarnaev and his brother pulled off the infamous bombing and then went into hiding, before being discovered. On April 18th, Dias Kadyrbayev and Azamat Tazhayakov allegedly took his laptop from his dorm room, along with a backpack that had fireworks with explosive powder and a jar of petroleum jelly. In an indictment, federal authorities stated that Kadyrbayev had gotten a text from Tsarnaev suggesting that he could go to his dorm room and “take what’s there.”
After “taking what’s there” the two apparently threw what they found in his room into a dumpster outside of the apartment. Despite it’s questioned validity, Kadyrbayev’s attorney Robert Stahl has said his client never knowingly took evidence from the dorm room and cooperated with the FBI.
