Detainees were not provided counsel to contest their classification and had no opportunity to appeal” (Yin 2011). This, some would claim, is in clear and blatant violation of the 6th Amendment to the United States’ Constitution, which states that “In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial... and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense” (U.S. Const. amend. VI); as well as, more broadly, the due process clause of the 5th Amendment, which states that “No person shall… be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law” (U.S. Const. amend.…

    On April 15, 2013, during the Boston Marathon, homemade explosions were detonated near the finish line taking the life of 3 Americans and injuring more than 260. The explosive devices were determined to be two pressure cookers strategically set to detonate 210 yards apart at 13 second intervals. The investigation lead was taken over by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) who released photographs and surveillance footage of two particular suspects on April 18. The two individuals were categorized as Chechen brother named Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev. Once these photos were released to the public, the two brothers took the life of an MIT police officer, carjacked a sport utility vehicle and exchanged gun fire with the Watertown police. The shoot out resulted in a second officer being critically injured while one of the suspects Tamerlan Tsarnaev was determined dead at the scene, younger brother Dzhokhar escaped with injuries. A Watertown manhunt followed the April 19 event with thousands of law enforcement personnel converging on a cordoned 20 block search area. Throughout the day long search, Watertown and nearby residents were warned to stay indoors with many public establishments closed. Later that day, the “shelter in place” advisory was lifted for the Watertown area. Shortly after these statements, a Watertown resident found the alleged suspect hiding in his back yard inside the family boat. Police forces converged on the area and arrested Dzhokhar. He was transported to the hospital with serious injuries. At the hospital, an initial questioning took place. Dzhokhar claimed his brother was the brains behind the incident and they were personally motivated because of the Afghan and Iraqi wars. They were indoctrinated with extremist Islamic beliefs and proclaimed as self-radicalized and had no outsourced connections to any terror groups around the globe. The brothers…
