Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 56m 56 minutes ago
The translated quotes are largely about Allah, the unbelievers, victory, mujahideen, faith for the struggle.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 44m 44 minutes ago
Sullivan: The patient (Tamerlan) had road rash, apparent gunshot wounds, shrapnel injuries, much trauma.
#Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 44m 44 minutes ago

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 44m 44 minutes ago
Sullivan said the patient was only identified as "the suspect" at first, but he later learned the man was Tamerlan #Tsarnaev @NECN

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 43m 43 minutes ago
Sullivan: Tamerlan was pale, sweaty, looking at us. He was awake, but "we suspected he was in shock". Still handcuffed.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 44m 44 minutes ago
Sullivan: "He was pale, he was sweaty, he was making eye contact so we suspected he was awake" @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 43m 43 minutes ago

He wouldn't talk to us.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 42m 42 minutes ago
Sullivan says they tried to put an IV in, "he got combative & he was resisting our attempt to intervene & treat him" @NECN #Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 43m 43 minutes ago
Sullivan: we tried to get an IV in, to treat his shock with fluids, maybe get a tube into his lungs if needed.
#Tsarnaev

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 43m 43 minutes ago
Sullivan: Whenever we tried to touch him, Tamerlan got combative, fought us. He lifted himself us, yelling, screaming, resisting.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 43m 43 minutes ago
Sullivan: He was squirming, trying to get away from us. Loud yells, grunts, Tamerlan seemed like he was trying to break out restraint belts.

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 43m 43 minutes ago
Sullivan says Tamerlan #Tsarnaev was handcuffed so they couldn't put the IV in his wrist @NECN

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 42m 42 minutes ago
Sullivan: "the injuries that he had and he being in shock, you would get anxious in that" @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 41m 41 minutes ago

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 42m 42 minutes ago
Sullivan: We headed to trauma center at Beth Israel; I tried to bandage his head wound and abdominal wound (his intestines were coming out).

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 42m 42 minutes ago
Sullivan: Tamerlan #Tsarnaev resisted all our attempts to treat him; we could only try to keep him flat. "He would not allow us."

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 41m 41 minutes ago
Sullivan says they were basically unable to treat Tamerlan during the ride because he was so combative @NECN #Tsarnaev

Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 41m 41 minutes ago

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 32m 32 minutes ago

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 31m 31 minutes ago
Lee: #Tsarnaev had a possible gunshot wound on his leg and he got mad and loud--
Watkins objects, hoping she stops explaining
Govt objects.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 31m 31 minutes ago
Lee gets to continue explaining how #Tsarnaev got angry when a tourniquet was applied to his leg; I don't think the defense wanted that in.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 31m 31 minutes ago
Lee: #Tsarnaev was otherwise compliant; didn't try to get out of ambulance, but he was also strapped in.

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 30m 30 minutes ago
Lee: we got to Beth Israel and #Tsarnaev asked where his brother was. We told him we "would find out soon."

Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 30m 30 minutes ago

He was told, "You'll find our soon."
#Tsarnaev

It's so strange to hear these stories. How can someone compartmentalize such two radical existences? By all accounts he seemed like a sweet, bright child who grew up to be a normal young guy. It's hard to reconcile these stories to what he did. It's bizarre. I have a hard time accepting that someone in college, living their own life could be so heavily influenced by his brother. I don't understand why someone living college life and seemingly having a good time and planning for their future would do something like this.
