The debate about Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, a suspect who took part in the Boston Marathon Bombing, is being questioned about his right in receiving a Miranda warning from investigators. Investigators
have a large amount of evidence that they don't really feel the need to get Dzhokhar to confess to committing the crime. There is a debate because Dzhokhar was not questioned about placing bombs in the place of the Boston Marathon and the investigators are using the public safety exemption to not allow Dzhokhar in receiving his Miranda warnings.
Another topic that has become an issue is whether Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is illegible in receiving the death penalty. The state of Massachusetts does not have the death penalty, however he will be tried in federal court in going through with the death penalty. The federal court did say the death penalty is an option for Dzhokhar because he did get charged for weapon of mass destruction and malicious destruction of property resulting in death. It may be a struggle to get Dzhokhar to get the death penalty because he could be years away from trial.
Massachusetts is fourth strictest state in the country regarding to gun laws. Dzhokhar and his brother Tameralan were reported to having unregistered guns during their assault of law enforcement members. It has been reported that the brothers had a stockpile of ammunition and that they had fired hundreds of rounds of gun fire at police officers during the Boston Marathon event.
There is also another debate of the brothers of the brother suspects on their immigration. Dzhokhar became a United States citizen one year before the bombing, however his brother's citizenship is being
questioned and held off because investigators had found out that he was interviewed by the FBI about homeland security from the Russian government. Senator Chuck Grassely and Senator Marco have two different views on whether the two brother's immigration is a problem for the incident.
Another constitution issue regarding to the incident of the Boston Marathon Bombing is that police forces violated Dzhokhar and Tamerlan's privacy. The police forces used thermal-imaging technology in a helicopter to search for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in a parked boat. The police forces did not have a warrant to search for Dzhokhar violating his right to the Fourth Amendment where no one can search someone's home without a warrant. The investigators also used imaging and footage used from private security camera which is another issue of the suspect's privacy rights.
