Friend of Boston Marathon Bombing Suspect Released on Bond

HeadlineMay 07, 2013

A friend of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has been released from jail on $100,000 bond after his arrest last week for allegedly lying to investigators about attempts to dispose of the suspect’s belongings. Robel Phillipos, who is 19, the same age as Tsarnaev, will remain under house arrest ahead of his trial. Two other friends of the suspect were also charged last week after allegedly removing a backpack, emptied-out fireworks, and a laptop from Tsarnaev’s room following the bombings.
