BOSTON — Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (pictured) was charged in his hospital room Monday with using a weapon of mass destruction to kill, and he could face the death penalty if convicted. RELATED:NewsOne’s Boston Bombing Coverage[1] Tsarnaev, 19, was accused by federal prosecutors of joining with his older brother to set off the two pressure-cooker bombs that sprayed shrapnel in to the crowd at the finish line last Monday, killing three people and wounding more than 180.

PONTIAC, Mich. — A 75-year-old Detroit-area woman who killed her grandson expressed remorse Thursday but repeatedly accused his parents of dumping a troubled boy at her doorstep during a desperate, emotional plea to avoid a prison sentence that likely means death behind bars. The judge wasn’t swayed, sending Sandra Layne away for at least 22 years and capping a wrenching case that revealed family strife, adolescent rebellion and fatal consequences. Joanthan Hoffman was shot six times, including twice in the back, last spring in Oakland County’s West Bloomfield Township. Layne, a former teacher and real estate agent, said she shot him out of fear during a physical altercation, but a jury in March rejected her claim of self-defense and convicted her of second-degree murder. Prosecutors said there were no signs of Layne being injured by Hoffman. A recording of a 911 call shows him being shot again while pleading for help — a critical piece of evidence that jurors played over and over d ...

If this world were mine, I’d see to it that anyone who felt compelled to politicize a national tragedy mere hours after it happened be muffed with a muzzle and have their fingers duct taped together as they watch their keyboards and keypads doused with a bucket of water. That’s not to say that there isn’t a need for reflection on the events preceding and following an attack, but seriously, can’t some things wait? RELATED: Feds Look For Clues In Boston Marathon Explosion[1] Apparently not. On Monday, in a speech[2] commemorating the Boston Marathon attacks, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) suggested [3]that the “complacency” of Americans contributed to the tragedy: “I think it’s safe to say that for many, the complacency that prevailed prior to September 11th has actually returned. And so we are newly reminded that serious threats to our way of life remain. And today again we recommit ourselves to the fight against terrorism at home and abroad.” You can watch video of the ...
