federal prosecutor, any thoughts on that? well, two thoughts. first of all, the it could be possible that what they re worried about aren t necessarily other co-conspirators but other conspiracies that he may know about. it may be that there aren t people directly involved in this but his brother having spent that much time in russia and might have imparted to him information about other things that are going on. that s a possibility. secondly, the prosecutor has to decide how important are statements from from the defendant anyway. maybe the prosecutor is pretty comfortable they re going to be able to convict them without having to use his confession and the intelligence is worth more. you d is to know the internals of what they have before you can assess whether there is a sensible invocation or isn t. anderson, if i could emphasize the second point i m sorry. actually, i m sorry, let me just jump in here. on the phone we have the boston police commissioner, ed davis. i
that s going to i think the significant aspect of tonight is sort of this commitment by the administration. regardless of miranda, as jeff was saying, it s probably that we don t actually need what he s going to say or disclose before a court. that they re going to put this through a criminal just system like every other case and treat it like, you know, within article 3 court. and that s going to be very important. i think that s an important statement for what happened this last week and for, you know, for boston which has a history with the constitution. i think it s a really important moment. we have more. we learned the hospital where the suspect has been taken, boston s beth israel deaconness. chris lawrence is standing by. what are you hearing? yeah, standing right outside. and there s a pretty incredible police presence around beth israel. it s a fairly large campus. and there are literally officers posted on just about every corner surrounding it. when we first arrived h
like no other nation in the world. in this age of instant reporting, tweet, and blogs, there s a temptation to latch on to any bit of information, sometimes to jump to conclusions. but when a tragedy like this happens with public safety safety at risk and the stakes so high, it s important that we do this right. that s why we have investigations. that s why we lentlessly gather the facts we relentlessly gather the fact. that s why we have courts. that s why we take care not to rush to judgment, not about the motivations of these individuals, certainly not about entire groups of people. after all, one of the things that makes america the greatest nation on earth but also one of the things that makes boston such a great city is that we welcome people from all around the world. people of every faith, every
is standing by at the white house. jessica? reporter: anderson, this is an opportunity for the president to come out here and cheer on boston. thank the police there, honor the victims, and remind the nation that america doesn t stop for terrorism. president obama watched all of this unfold and the capture go down live on television in the white house as the rest of the nation did. as soon as he learned that the capture was happening, he went across the coloinated, over to the oval office and sat there with staff where he got a call from fbi director muller who officially notified him that it was true, the suspect was captured alive. then the president decided to come out here. he decided he d wait until boston investigators announced it to the nation themselves. now he will tell us in his own word, no doubt reminding everybody that this investigation doesn t end here. there is much more work to be done. this is a moment for a lot of recognition for the people there in boston.
