Dias Kadyrbayev Indictment, Boston U.S. District Court
August 2013
Dias Kadyrbayev, a student at the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth, was indicted Aug. 8, 2013 by a federal grand jury for conspiracy to obstruct justice and obstruction for allegedly disposing of evidence to help surviving Marathon bomber Dzokhar Tsarnaev.
Defense attorney Robert G.
