A friend of one of the accused Boston Marathon bombers was released from jail on bond following a court appearance today.

Robel Phillipos, a 19-year-old American friend of Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, was arrested last week for allegedly lying to investigators in the days after the bombing.

Phillipos declined to answer questions when he left the courthouse in a black baseball cap and white button-down shirt. He was released on $100,000 bail and will be put under "strict house arrest," the court said. He also has relinquished his passport and will undergo random drug screening. When Phillipos' mother was asked in court if she understood she was accepting responsibility for her son, she stood and said she did.

1. Safer in prison

This guy is now a target by the mobs. he would be safer in jail.
I believe in innocent until proven guilty.
this is a big case and someone will want crowd vengence.

4. I think he will be fine on home confinement

He isn't charged with participating in the bombings. People around here, I believe, are smart enough to avoid lynching him.

2. Was this the "Terrorista #1" guy?

Or was he just #2 or #3?

6. NONE of the above, I think,
