Accused Boston Marathon Bomber Severely Injured In Prison, May Never Walk Or Talk Again
Â Infamous Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 21, was the victim of an âunfortunate accidentâ yesterday at Ft. Devens Detention Center in Massachusetts, just weeks after his high-profile trial began, according to warden Paul Jacobson.Corrections officers reportedly found the alleged terror suspect face down in a pool of his own blood in his cell; a banana peel was found on the floor nearby.âIt initially appeared as though Tsarnaev slipped on a discarded banana peel and hit the floor with such force that his head bounced off the hard tile surface, probablyÂ 16 or 17 times.Â There was blood everywhere â all over the walls, the floor, evenÂ the toilet. The injuries have caused massive brain trauma,â said prison investigator Joe Goldsmith. âWe determined though, through expert analysis, that it would be impossible for these injuries to have occurred through a fall. Our investigation has shown that that it was the Aryan Brotherhood who initiated an attack on Tsarnaev.ââYes, it was the brotherhood who took care of that bomber,â said Miles Smith, head of the Aryan Nation inside Devens. âThe other gangs, they wanted him, too. We paid the guards the most money to have a shot. They stood aside, and let us do what we do. On the way out, they shook our hands, told us âThank you.â Well, Youâre welcome. Youâre welcome, Boston. Youâre welcome, America!ââNormally, an attack this violent, this cruel, on another inmate would get any offending party more time added to their sentence,â said wardenÂ Jacobson. âBecause of the nature of Tsarnaevâs crimes, though, we have decided to actually reduce the sentences of the Aryan members who were involved. They have done our prison and our country a great service, and we appreciate it immensely. They are heroes in the eyes of not only this institution, but also inÂ the eyes of the people of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.âDzhokhar Tsarnaev and his older brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev were both suspected of perpetrating the Boston Marathon bombings on April 15, 2013. The bombings killed three people and reportedly injured as many as 264 others.Â  Shortly after the FBI namedÂ the two suspects and released images of them, the two brothers reportedly killed an MIT police officer and carjacked an SUV in a shootout with police. During the shootout, the elder brother, Tamerlan was captured but was killed when his brother drove over him with the SUV. On the evening of April 20, 2013, the wounded Dzhokhar was found unarmed and hiding in a boat on a trailer in Watertown, Massachusetts.On January 30, 2014, United States Attorney General Eric Holder announced that the federal government would seek the death penalty against Tsarnaev. The trial had just begun on January 5, 2015, as Tsarnaev pleaded not guilty to all thirty charges filed against him.Â Â
