Two college friends of Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were sentenced to federal prison Friday for their roles in removing items from Tsarnaev's University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth dorm room after the incident, the Wall Street Journal reports.
Robel Phillipos, 21, was sentenced to three years for lying to federal agents about whether he went to the dorm room. Azamat Tazhayakov, 21, was sentenced to 42 months for taking a backpack with hollowed out fireworks from Tsarnaev's room during the April 2013 manhunt following the attack along with Dias Kadyrbayev, who was sentenced Tuesday.
