he was not in good condition, so in and out of consciousness during that time but mirandized under the public safety exemption. he said he and his brother acted alone. our pamela brown has been live all morning at the federal medical center in devens, massachusetts, where tsarnaev is being held. good morning, pamela. i want to ask you about his condition in a moment, but, first, i want to talk about that search going on right now for a laptop among other things in that land fill. what exactly led police to this site? reporter: well, poppy, according to sources, investigators were led to that land fill in new bedford, massachusetts, based on tips from the suspect himself, dzhokhar tsarnaev, and other people who have been questioned in this investigation. this is the third day investigators are combing through the land fill and hoping to find what is believed to be the laptop of dzhokhar tsarnaev. they believe they can find this laptop, that they will be able to gain critical informati
he wants to know a lot more about how this suspect came to be read his rights monday at the hospital. he s written a letter to the attorney general eric holder with a long list of questions he wants answers to, questions like who decided this initial appearance should happen at this specific place and time, and did anyone from department of justice or the fbi raise concerns about the timing of reading the suspect those rights. athena is reporting that the fbi was alerted ahead of the time that tsarnaev s miranda warning was going to happen. how much did the fbi know about the tsarnaev brothers and more importantly was their response to the red flags good enough? we are learning about the fbi s apparent failings, including reports that tamerlan tsarnaev, the older brother, had been added to the government s terror watch list but at some point fell off the grid. senator lindsey graham calls the case a system failure. i know that when he goes to
importance here is making sure he s well and in a secure place. is there anything the public defender can do with this and say this wasn t the right move. if it harmed his care, but i think it s fair to say everyone s goal is to make sure he s available for ultimately trial. well, and ultimately available to talk or not because the reports are that once he was mar ran di mirandized there it went. there s a public safety exception that apparently was used to get some initial questioning done. but, you know, even if he s mirandized and he speaks, later on when we get closer to trial, the defense can move to have some of that evidence suppressed. they can say it wasn t really voluntary. he had received his miranda warnings properly, but given the extraordinary circumstances, including his health, that information may not come in. in fact, there s tons of other evidence as we ve all hold on.
somehow escaped to tell about it, how he s coping after the most terrifying 90 minutes of his life. good afternoon. i m jake tapper. we re coming to you live from copley square in boston where thousands have been drawn to a growing memorial of the victims of the boston marathon terror attack. cnn learned from a law enforcement official that investigators are up to their elbows now in a land fill about an hour south of here, near dzhokhar tsarnaev s former dorm room. they re looking for his laptop. a source also says that investigators believe each brother had a remote controlled detonate, but those have not yet been found. at least part of that information came from dzhokhar tsarnaev, before he was mirandized, but he has since clammed up, according to our source. meanwhile, victims and family members no longer have to tolerate being in the same hospital as the surviving boston bombing suspect. authorities transferred him to a prison hospital about 40 miles away on the grounds of a
the f.b.i. interrogators were surprised. they had a short heads up, but they were surprised to stop their interrogations. one of the reasons they were upset the way they had been conducting the investigation was sort of hot and cold on and off, tough and easy. they didn t have time to reprioritize their questions. if they had a long list of questions they could have at least scrambled, here are the five questions we need to get an answer to. they didn t have enough time to make sure that those questions got asked before dzhokar tsarnaev was mirandized. that is the real frustration they are feeling. megyn: you understand it more as the days go on. this is the news that they are now looking into the possibility of a third person involved and the level of sophistication with these bombs that we did not know
