Aunt want's to see evidence and is suspicious of just showing a picture of her nephews over and over

"I do not believe, I just do not believe our boys would do that ... I don't know them in the way that they could be capable of this," Tsarnaeva said.

She said her brother Anzor Tsarnaev had high expectations for his sons, especially Tamerlan.

She said her brother was desperate when he found out Tamerlan had dropped out of his university. She said he always demanded more of his children and said Tamerlan was his favorite.

Tamerlan wasn't a devout practicing Muslim, "but just recently, maybe two years ago, he started praying five times a day," she said."

The families of the accused have gotten more media attention then the victims. They are trying to taint the case with conspiracy theories.

irrespective of anything else they may be guilty of, they used armed force to resist arrest.

People in America get dead for doing this. It's one of the first things we learn as adults. Ralph Ellison famously called it, "resisting reality."

A better use of time would be to read Ellison -- far more insightful and much more useful to your own life than a recounting of desperate sociopaths on a rampage. We're all too familiar with that concept; what need have we for myriad recountings of its enactment? But to grasp the reality of Invisibility and feel it forcefully explained? That happens all too rarely in life and the opportunity should be grasped whenever or wherever encountered. . .

Meanwhile victims of the bombing are still in the hospital. My point is why should the media be allowing these nutcases airtime?

especially while victims are in the hospital? They are essentially doing the same thing George Zimmerman's family did, sitting on TV and swearing their son, and brother was innocent.

By the way I believe the suspect should get a fair trial, but I also believe the victims should have a chance to have the person who hurt them brought to justice.
