Guilty plea in Tsarnaev case
"If people are considered
co-conspirators, anything one says can possibly be used in the case
of another. If these guys were doing anything to help Dzhokhar out,
and he knew about it, they would be considered co-conspirators
since they worked together to achieve a goal."
Incoming MBA Criminal
Justice Section Vice Chair Peter Elikann, Boston Herald, August 22
Elikann was quoted by the Herald in a story on the
guilty plea entered by Dias Kadyrbayev, the former college roommate
of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, to charges he hindered the Marathon bombings
investigation. According to Elikann, evidence gleaned from the
guilty plea could be used against Tsarnaev at trial if prosecutors
can prove he conspired with Kadyrbayev to thwart the investigation.
Elikann also appeared as a live guest on FOX25 to analyze the
guilty plea on August 21.
