Tsarnaev moved to prison

[cali]

Boston Marathon bombings suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was transferred to a Massachusetts prison Friday from the hospital where he had been held since his arrest by police a week ago.

"The U.S. Marshals Service confirms that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has been transported from the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and is now confined at the Bureau of Prisons facility FMC Devens," U.S. Marshals Service spokesman Drew Wade said in a statement.

The 19-year-old's condition improved from serious to fair on Tuesday. But his injuries -- including a gunshot wound to the head and neck that could be self-inflicted -- were so severe he initially communicated with investigators in writing.

How long the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth student spends in a local lockup depends in large part on whether prosecutors decide to seek the death penalty -- a decision that is months away and will ultimately be made by Attorney General Eric Holder.

So now we've gone from ethnic Chechen to University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth student.

And wouldn't that be former student? I don't think he'll be returning to classes any time soon.
