Boston Marathon bomber's acquaintance could face 20 years in prison for deleting files
Next week, a 24-year-old man who knew Boston Marathon bombers Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev is scheduled to appear in U.S. Federal Court for sentencing on obstruction of justice charges related to the 2013 attacks.
Khairullozhon Matanov, a former taxi driver, did not participate in or have any prior knowledge of the bombings, according to U.S. authorities.
What could land him 20 more years in prison — where he has been since his arrest — are the charges that he deleted video files from his computer and cleared his browser history in the days following the attacks.
A Grand Jury indictment issued on May 29, 2014, states that Matanov “deleted a large amount of information from his Google Chrome Internet cache” following the bombing, including “references to the video of the suspected bombers [later identified as the Tsarnaevs],” “two of the photographs of the bombers released at approximately the same time,” and “a photograph of Officer Sean Collier, who had been allegedly killed by Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev.”

More bs from the left. Is it not true these people were warned not to do just that. Sorry Feds say save you records we have to save our records. These terrorist donr get special privledge
Windows gives you the option of clearing it every time you power down. Arrest Bill Gates CEOs are responsible via Sarbanes Oxley for many things that go unpunished..yet the little guy is fodder
Yes you can do time for destruction of evidence. Nothing new here but another butt hurt Muslim. Move along.
But deleting and erasing emails is not?
Someone tell Hillary.
Aahhhhhh, my bad.
The two sets of laws thing.
Go after lawbreakers no matter WHO they are.
I'm STILL waiting for someone to get charged and arrested for using a dead man's Social Security number (from a state he NEVER lived in, too).
TWO SETS OF LAWS.
Serfs go to prison.
Rulers are exempt.
Keep cheering.
