(OT) Boston Marathon Bombing Suspect Caught, Feds to Go Without Miranda Rights for Now

From ABC News (4/19/2013; part):

Now that authorities have captured Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the 19-year-old believed to be the second suspect in the bombings at the Boston Marathon on Monday, federal law enforcement officials are invoking the public safety exception regarding his Miranda rights, a senior Justice Department official told ABC News.

The exception, according to the FBI‘s website, “permits law enforcement to engage in a limited and focused unwarned interrogation and allows the government to introduce the statement as direct evidence.”

The ABC News link goes to a page with a obnoxious video autostart. Don't be complaining to me.

The ABC news tells us to expect the suspect to be interrogated by "High-Value Detainee Interrogation Group (HIG)":

The group, set up in 2009, is made up of agents from the FBI, CIA and the Defense Intelligence Agency. They have been on standby waiting for the moment the suspect was taken in."

The winner looks like the police and American flag. See Boston Globe's photos.

Boston Globe also reports that Dunkin Donut Shops in Boston remained open during the lockdown at the request of the police, but not Starbucks.
