If you haven't heard the name Robel Phillipos, you probably need to file it away as someone you need to know about...
After six days of deliberating, Robel Phillipos, a friend of the Tsarnaev brothers, was found guilty on both counts of lying to investigators about being in Dzokhar Tsarnaev's dorm room while two other friends removed a backpack containing potential evidence after the April 15, 2013, Boston Marathon attack.
The bombs placed near the marathon finish line killed three people and injured more than 260.
Phillipos had an interesting defense- marijuana consumption.
Here's the latest on the verdict- albeit a very mixed one...

He is facing up to 16 years in prison and a verdict will be given in late January- the same month the Tsarnaev trial is set to begin.
Phillipos will be held under house arrest until then.
