Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Confession Came Before Miranda Rights Were Read:
Seems the order came from Pres. Obama, but why?

I have to still catch up with what is going on. I haven't really heard anything since he was caught.

They should have read him his rights regardless of how he was going to be charged or tried. They were stupid for not reading him his rights. If for no other reason, they should have done it just to make sure it wouldn't come back to bite them later. Now, if they do decide to try him in a civilian court, nothing he says to them during interrogation will be usable in court. Not reading him his rights could prove to be a real problem in court, and could cause the case to be thrown out...

I agree, Its so easy. But cnn reports that he would have asked for his atty. and not spoke. Im assuming whatever he told the fbi was good news to them.

They should take him out and hang him when they are done questioning him. They know he did it. He should be executed swiftly and publically...

First of all this terrorist is not a 'kid", he is a full growth man, an adult of the age of 19 years old who should be man enough to admit his terror act instead of hiding behind his mother and father in Kyrgyzstan. Second reading a suspect's Miranda warning is a mandated procedure under criminal law in the beginning of a police interrogation session. It won't protect a suspect from criminal charges and prosecuted in court, many time a totally silent suspect will also get convicted in the court of law if the evidence presented in court proven beyond all reasonable doubts.

I agree with you, but the government needed to read him his rights like every other criminal.

Was watching a bit of this on CNN and there was a debate about it. It has something to do with him being a terrorist where miranda doesn't really apply.

Maybe, but would have been much safer to have given him those choices.

He did it because if 'the law' doesn't catch it & stop it, then--not only will the kid be let off for false confession--but he can also SUE 'the law' for faulty confession-getting

Regardless of the nature of his crimes, he is protected by the Fifth Amendment (right to a fair and speedy trial). Also, if law enforcement officials would like to get any information out of him, they have to read him the Miranda rights first in order to use the information. Otherwise, the information will not hold up in court (lawyers could argue that confessions were made involuntarily and cannot be used as evidence).

Im sure they will. He seems to have a good team of lawyers set up, by his parents..

Personally, sometimes you wonder especially when it comes to major crimes and things how often people are allowed to get away with things they have done just from little slip ups like this. If they forgot to read him his rights first, and it is proven, this could be bad and cause him to be set free. So let's hope this does not happen, and somehow something good can come from this.

I hope this isnt the case. But I feel he should have been read his right, like every other criminal is.
