A college buddy of Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was released from federal prison Wednesday after completing his sentence for trying to stymie the FBI investigation into the twin blasts that killed three people and injured 260 others during the 2013 race. Prosecutors said that Kadyrbayev texted Tsarnaev hours after the FBI identified Dzhokhar and his older brother Tamerlan as suspects in the bombing on April 18, 2013 -- but did not alert the authorities. Tamerlan Tsarnaev died early the next morning, April 19, after a shootout with police in the suburb of Watertown. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was captured that afternoon. Weeks after Kadyrbayev was sentenced, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev received the death penalty for his role in the bombings.
