you. the boston police department sent out this tweet that we have confirmed is three additional suspects have been taken into custody. relatives to the marathon bombings. this comes directly from the boston police department that three additional suspects have been taken into custody in the marathon bombing case. the details to follow. alan dershowitz and superior court judge remain with me. i am glad you are already here. i want to get your initial reactions to this. we just spoke about others who were under investigation. this could be a game changer. obviously if there are other people involved and if the defendants in this case can provide information about the other people, we may learn far more about how extensive the scope of this alleged conspiracy
