BOSTON, Mass. — February 23, 2015 — The criminal cases against two friends of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev could be affected by a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in an unrelated case involving a Florida fisherman.
In November, a federal judge postponed sentencing for Azamat Tazhayakov and Dias Kadyrbayev, saying the case before the high court could define what is considered “tangible” evidence under an obstruction of justice law that was passed in the wake of the Enron scandal.
