Defending a terrorist...


He married his rehab nurse.
A long-time friend of the Boston Marathon bomber testified in court  that he gave Tsarnaev the gun later used in the shooting death of an MIT police officer.
Silva was the subject of an undercover federal investigation and pleaded guilty to charges including distribution of heroin, and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number.
 
Silva testified he gave Tsarnaev a 9-millimeter handgun to use "for a rip" a robbery.
He "talked religion not in depth, not all the time" and described the suspect as not-violent and well liked. He emphasized that the pair enjoyed "typical teenage things," . In one dramatic moment, Silva was reminded that Tsarnaev once told him, "You don’t want to meet my brother."
 
Defense lawyers  elicit testimony that Tsarnaev was under the influence of his older brother and that he was not himself a committed terrorist.
 
Tsarnaev has pleaded not guilty to the 30 counts against him, including charges of using a "weapon of mass destruction resulting in death," but his defense attorney has said that he participated in the bombing.
 
What a real uphill battle defending this guy.. He got caught, and got medically treated.
If you didn't liked it here you could have gone back. 
Just a thought.
