Dias Kadyrbayev (DY’-us kah-dur-BY’-ehv) apologized to the bombing victims and their families at his sentencing hearing Tuesday, saying he is ashamed he didn’t call police when he recognized photos of Tsarnaev as a suspect.
Kadyrbayev pleaded guilty last year to obstruction of justice and conspiracy charges for removing items from Tsarnaev’s dorm room after recognizing his friend in photos released by the FBI days after the bombing.
He had faced up to seven years in prison.
Kadyrbayev told the judge Tuesday: “I really can’t believe that I acted so stupidly.”
Three people were killed and more than 260 were injured in the bombing.
this animal is plenty smart and took advantage of the USA legal system!!
It is a minor miracle he even got this much prison time.
The condition should be that after prison time he must be deported
if he is not legally in the USA,or after his temp time expires
