I have read in several places that he was read his rights when he was charged. This is what Huffington Post says:

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, charged Monday with using a weapon of mass destruction and malicious destruction of property resulting in a death in the Boston Marathon Bombings, was read his Miranda rights at his hospital bedside Monday after the Justice Department invoked Miranda's public safety exception.
A federal magistrate judge read the rights to Tsarnaev, an American citizen of Chechen descent, at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. Tsarnaev nodded his head to answer the judge's questions, and answered "no" when asked if he could afford a lawyer. He remained in serious condition at the hospital.
