Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is in custody. Actually he is Beth Israel hospital in Boston under heavy guard. He is being treated for wounds suffered in his battle with police prior to his surrender.
It seems somehow appropriate that this kid's name is pronounced almost the same as Joker because he seems like the demented villain of Batman fame. True, Dzhokhar did not wear the weird makeup, but he shared the same sort of delusions as the comic book character. Imagine thinking that killing some bystanders at the Boston Marathon would defeat America. It will bring severe pain to some and will shock others, but it will hardly strike a blow against the USA. The eight year old child killed is not the mastermind of American actions against the jihadi nutjobs in the Middle East. The Chinese grad student had no suasion to alter the course of world events. The folks killed were just regular people living regular lives. Killing them was an act of delusion sufficiently bizarre to show the similarity between Dzhokhar and the comic book character after whom he seems to be named.
