The family of the convicted marathon bomber is in America, on your tax
dollars, and survivors are outraged after learning the news. As of
Thursday, family members of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev have been staying at the
Hampton Inn in Revere under very tight security, just one of the things
tax dollars are paying for. FOX25’s Sharman Sacchetti investigated how
much this trip is costing you.
Sources say these family members are
being called as witnesses and not only that, at least three agencies are
working around the clock to protect and transport them. This is all
part of the defense team’s strategy to save Tsarnaev. While it’s unclear
when their flight started, we know the last part of it came through
Amsterdam and landed at Logan Airport and cost nearly $2,500 per person.

The cost to put them up at the Hampton
Inn at the government rate: almost $200 per night, per person. And a
source says at least three agencies, the FBI, US Marshal’s and Revere
Police are involved in constant protection.
“I think you’re probably talking about
$100,000 plus in that neighborhood in terms of security and out of
pocket costs associated with travel,” former US attorney Michael
Sullivan said. And that’s just for this trip. Lawyer fees or even what
all witnesses during the trial cost is still unclear. One defense
witness, Mark Spencer of Arsenal Consulting, charged $375 per hour and
billing taxpayers for $150,000.
One of the Boston Marathon Bombing survivors who must get to the courtroom on his own, no government assistance
Governor Charlie Baker said, “It’s a
federal trial, it’s a federal case, the feds ultimately need to make the
decisions about this.” “The court wants to make sure that at the end of
the day, the defendant gets a fair trial and would not want to add any
potential issues on appeal in the penalty phase, prosecutors finished
making their case yesterday,” he said.
Marathon survivor Marc Fucarile
reached out to us Friday night, reacting to this news, saying that he’s
outraged that Tsarnaev’s family’s expenses are being paid for when
“myself and some of the other survivors and our families have to pay for
our own parking at court, lunch, and we were told that if the trial was
moved out of state, we’d have to pay for our own travel and lodging,
there.”
Didn’t this welfare bitch and her terrorist family get enough of US taxpayer money when she lived here?
The statement went on to say: “Why
should our country pay for them when that family committed a violent act
against our country? Not to mention, all of the free government
services this family previously enjoyed on the backs of the taxpayers
including government assistance and a free ride to UMass Dartmouth. In
contrast, I was denied housing assistance I sought after the bombings,
even though I needed a handicapped accessible apartment, and my wife
lost her job as a result of the events.”
