Boston Bombing aftermath, any similarity to the Lincoln assassination aftermath?

[LincolnMan]

I was listening to a panel of legal experts regarding what "should" be done with the captured suspect in the Boston bombing. Some of the discussion revolved around whether to try him as a combatant or not. Other considerations involved whether or not he should have court in front of a military tribunal or in Federal Court. One legal expert referenced the trial of the conspirators! There is also the talk of the death penalty or not. It seems that these kinds of deliberations do have some similarities to the Lincoln assassination aftermath-legally-and perhaps otherwise. What are the thoughts here?
