Actually, that should have said 'known terrorist suspect'. Take the foil hat off. He will get tried under Federal statutes, not local. There is no death penalty in Mass. but Federal statutes have always retained that punishment. I would expect that if he is coherent the trial will be covered much like the McVeigh trial was.
Probable cause gets lots of scrutiny in the courts. Cases are lost and charges are dropped if probable cause cannot be established and any related evidence gets ruled inadmissable. Cops are more careful about that sort of thing.
