The Huffington Post posted an article regarding Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's prison regulations. Today, U.S. officials have come to an agreement to loosen Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's prison restrictions in response to his attorney’s complaints. Dzhokhar along with his older deceased brother, Tamerlan, have been accused of bombing the Boston Marathon finish line on April 15th and face 30 federal charges. Tsarnaev's lawyers argued his regulations were too harsh and it was difficult to have a successful defense; the new rules include letting his attorneys discuss their defense tactics with third parties and allowing Tsarnaev to meet with a mental health specialist without having an attorney present, but his cell isolation doesn't lift. The government is still deciding whether or not to pursue death penalty for Tsarnaev, but he has yet to be found guilty.

What the Tsarnaev brothers did was horrid and absolutely wrong, but Dzhokhar has just a right to a fair trial as anyone does, innocent until proven guilty correct?
