Rep. Peter King (R., N.Y.) revealed a judge with an accompanying U.S. Attorney showed up to Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's hospital bed to conduct an arraignment while the FBI was still interrogating Tsarnaev Wednesday on FNC.
King noted the FBI did not invite the magistrate and interrogators were apparently "in the dark" when the judge showed up.
According to King the entire scenario of having a judge appear mid interrogation to arraign a suspect is particularly odd and raises "very interesting issues":
GRETA VAN SUSTEREN: The other day there was a hearing in the hospital room of the younger of the two brothers. How was it is that the magistrate even ended up in that room, was she summoned by someone?
PETER KING: My understanding the FBI did not invite the magistrate. The FBI was conducting its interrogation and the magistrate arrived which I think is unusual. I haven't practiced law in a while but I haven't heard of a judge coming uninvited or unannounced to conduct an arraignment while interrogation is still going on. That is one of the issues. And also, apparently there was an Assistant U.S. Attorney with the magistrate. I don't know if it this was arranged by the Attorney General for the Justice Department, it just raised very interesting issues.
