Why Should I Care That No One’s Reading Dzhokhar Tsarnaev His Miranda Rights?

I'm with you as far as suspects. Suspects should have their rights protected. Convicted felons, however, we already deny a number of constitutional rights de-facto. E.g., right to bear arms and freedom of travel.

Please tell me when he was convicted?

I do not know if you were simply clarifying the parent post or actually referring to the Boston bomber, but the fact of the matter is, you become a "convicted felon" when you've found guilty in the court of law.

Clarifying parent. I know this individual has not been convicted yet, and ergo is not a convinced felon. Just responding to this:

you must also protect the rights of people you do not like. Even the rights of killers ... must be protected if we want ours to be protected.

Folks, if you are going to downvote me, please explain why. I don't believe I have stated an opinion; I tried to stick to facts. If you think my facts are wrong, please actually correct me.
