How will recent events affect trial of Phoenix man dressed as ‘terrorist’?

With the recent Boston Marathon Bombing, the gory, grisly details of those who were killed or injured, I wonder how this will affect the upcoming trial of man who recorded a family member dressed as a “terrorist,” walking around a Phoenix neighborhood with a fake grenade launcher to “test” police.

People do stupid things, but this is ironically bad timing if this guy is expecting leniency after what this country went through this past week.
