Why did they not charge the other two? I’m going to assume that they gave up some information. What happened to the fourth man?
The media from the start has tended to ignore this case, but additionally they have ignored that there were others involved. I hope we don’t have cause to regret the authorities decision to give the two a pass…

The man accused of killing Livingston teenager Brendan Tevlin last year has been indicted on terrorism charges, marking the first time the statute has been used in a murder case in New Jersey history.
An Essex County grand jury found enough evidence to charge Ali Muhammad Brown twice under the little-used law, along with murder, robbery, carjacking and other offenses, Acting Essex County Prosecutor Carolyn Murray said in a statement.
Brown, who says he is Muslim, told investigators after his arrest in July that he had killed Tevlin and a trio of men in the Seattle area as “vengeance” for lives lost due to U.S. military action in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, and other parts of the Islamic world.
“All these lives are taken every single day by America, by this government. So a life for a life,” he said, according to documents charging him with murder in Washington.
Murray sought special permission from Acting Attorney General John G. Hoffman to present the charge to the grand jury.
