Transcript of Boston Bombing suspect's bedside hearing (yes, he was Mirandized)

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, has been charged in a criminal complaint over the bombing of the Boston Marathon. He appeared before a federal magistrate who came to his bedside at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. He nodded affirmatively in response to questions, but spoke only one word: “no,” after the magistrate asked him if he could afford a lawyer. The New York Times has the transcript. After much controversy, it’s good to see that he was read his Miranda Rights. [NYTimes.com] And here’s the FBI affidavit. [chicagotribune.com]
