In a Federal case wouldn't the prosecutor have to turn over those photos to defense? Anyone know for sure?
I am not a lawyer, and I do not know for sure, however, after nosing around a little I landed upon The Brady Rule. Oh, and, most states have adopted the Federal Rules of Evidence, as opposed to vice versa.In a Federal case wouldn't the prosecutor have to turn over those photos to defense? Anyone know for sure?
You want to know why Murphy did what he did, releasing photos of a bloodied and beaten Dzhokhar Tsarnaev? It wasn’t complicated: He did it for Bauman, and for wounded MBTA cop Dic Donohue, and for the still-grieving family of slain MIT officer Sean Collier. He did it for Martin Richard and Krystle Campbell and Lingzi Lu. He did it for the hundreds of bombings victims who now have something in common beyond the scars that’ll never heal: Their names were never mentioned in that 11,000-word Rolling Stone cover story.

Sounds like a dam# good reason to me.jmo
How about surrendered? Seems an appropriate term considering he was in the boat hiding from the 100 plus or minus police officers who surrounded the boat with weapons pointed at him. So surrendered might be the better word because he had no choice if he wanted to live.
I think a lot can be learned from this young man because he does not appear to be radical and may cooperate. Time will tell. Give the system a chance to work. In the meantime articles about him give us insight into who he was before he involved himself with his brother, who definitely appears to be the radical one. DT is the one who can give us information on his brother and what his plans were. jmo
His brother is dead. What difference does it make what his plans were? He is not connected to any terrorist organization, or so we have been repeatedly told. I don't see any useful information coming from DT.
Hence, I believe he was brainwashed to atrocity IF he is found guilty.
You may applaud Sean Murphy, but he did the prosecution no favors by releasing such critical photos. He obviously didn't think it through. The defense team is saying thank you very much right now, along with the RS cover and article! He won't be talking as long as he lives. JMO.
Poor baby was brainwashed?
Poor little terrorist.
:waiting:
What did the defense gain by those photos being released?
What's so "critical" about them.
Nothing IMO.
What can they defend?
He's a murderer. I think we all know that.
JMO
<mod snip> Was TT not brainwashed by extreme Jihadists? Isn't this how terrorism begins, by organizations brainwashing others into killing and terrorizing others based on absurd religious and political principles?
Do you know what brainwash means? Make someone adopt radically different beliefs by using systematic pressure and often forcible pressure.
They were born into a Muslim family and in their older years were brainwashed into radical Islamist ideology. You should read up more on how this actually happens Though, brainwashing does not equate to not having to be held accountable for your actions.
JMO.
I agree completely, Valentina. These days it seems like the media spins the story to fit their agenda (ratings) instead of just reporting the solid facts. I also believe that every entity of our government should have checks and balances...ie, a neutral party also participating in the investigation. Especially when there is a homicide involved.
Does anyone know whether there is a policy in place for conducting more than just an "internal review" when it comes to the FBI? The shooting of Todashev bothers me a lot because if the FBI is the only ones performing an investigation, how do we assure the report is unbiased? I mean, we hope that it is. But corruption happens in every facet of society and government. From a liability standpoint, it seems the FBI would welcome another investigation independent of their own. I believe that ethically, we owe that to the victims families. If my brother or family member had been interviewed and shot, I'd definitely want to know what happened and why it happened.

His right arm and hand look severely damaged, I can see why it's still in a cast.
Murphy released these photos because he was angry about the RS cover but it has basically had the opposite effect by keeping DT as one of the most publicized men in the world. These photos are all top headlines across the world now and they show him severely hurt and bleeding - now these are the types of photos that make people sorry for him!
So, everyone here believes he is guilty?
I find it a little bit scary how everyone is so hungry to have him punished without seeming to require any solid evidence that proves he is guilty. Have we forgotten that everyone deserves a fair trial? Have we forgotten the words "innocent until proven guilty."?
The stories in this case tend to be confusing and change a lot. Why did they tell us at first that Dzhokhar had tried to kill himself and had shot himself in the throat and was unable to speak? Maybe because they didn't want him to speak, but conveniently enough they'd found a written confession on the walls of the boat. With what tool did he write this confession with? A pen or marker he happened to find? It's very suspicious to me. In the end, they said actually he was unarmed in the boat and had not shot himself in the throat after all.
I find this entire case to be amazingly unfair and biased. All of the media is selectively wording things to promote more fear and hatred towards him. Most of the articles are full of theories and assumptions, yet lack any real evidence.
They'll say things like he was smiling and blowing kisses in court when in actuality he was blowing kisses to his crying sisters. And for anyone who believes he is innocent, they have labelled his "disgusting fan club". Right, because we all know how disgusting it is to disagree with the mainstream media. Personally, I find the unfairness of it all and the extreme bias on the part of the media and the willingness to accept all of it without question more disgusting than the fan club and rollingstone cover put together.
Why is it that none of his family or friends believe he is guilty?
Did you know that he went out to a party one night in between when the bombings happened and when he was labelled a suspect? His friends said he seemed normal and relaxed.
You'd think a 19 year old who had just planted a bomb and killed a few people for the first time in his life would be anything but relaxed. And why would you go home after doing something like that and immediately go on twitter? He posted the evening of the bombings, "Ain't no love in the city tonight, stay safe people".
He had no angry or aggressive behaviour prior to the bombings. He grew up most of his life in the United States. He worked as a life guard and I heard somewhere he wanted to change his major to Nursing. Usually when people do something terrible they have very strong reasons for doing so. If they lack reasons, they usually have psychological issues. But the only psychological issues I see here are the ones the US media is inflicting on it's viewers- by promoting fear and encouraging hate.
And why is it that the FBI Killed Ibragim Todashev? What is the explanation for that? Why is it that more people have died during the investigation of these bombings than at the bombings themselves?
