The capture and charging of suspected Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev shifts attention from the manhunt to the prosecution by U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz in one of the biggest terrorism cases since the trial of Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh two decades ago.
Tsarnaev, 19, was charged by Ortiz’s office with using a weapon of mass destruction that killed three people and injured more than 170. He faces a second charge of destroying property with a bomb, according to the complaint in federal court in Boston. If convicted, he might face execution.
