about the boston explosion? i did that. wolf? pretty chilling material, joe. thanks very much. the white house says the decision to charge dzhokhar tsarnaev in criminal court, not as an enemy combatant was the right way to go. let s talk about the case with our analyst jeffrey toobin and fran townsend. fran, they did that first appearance of the tsarnaev at bedside today, gave him an attorney, a public defender. what does that tell you specifically? well, first and foremost, wolf, it tells us that the public safety exception that they were operating under in order to question him was finished. once they gave him miranda, they understood he would get a lawyer and that would be part of his initial appearance. so they were done. whatever questioning they had done in order to find out were there additional explosive,
other co-conspirators, whatever they managed to get out of him, the fbi had completed that questioning. presumably once he was advised of his rights and assigned a lawyer, the lawyer would have, first and foremost, told him to stop talking to the fbi. tsarnaev, jeffrey, was read his rights by the judge at bedside today. why was that so important, how does that change things going forward? well, now his initial appearance, his arraignment is completed and now the case will be turned over to a grand jury. probably within the next 30 days there will be at least an initial indictment and the case will then be assigned to a federal district court judge for a trial. the process at that point is going to slow down considerably. there is a lot more investigating to do. the defense is going to want to do some investigating, and i think if there s a trial in this case, a year from now is
neighbors told us the young man who once lived here seemed peaceful, ordinary, but in the dust lies a question why did tsarnaev s youtube page linked to the rants of the militant who died here? in a town where tsarnaev s father lived and tamerlan visited last year. you can see how intense the violence must have been against this apartment could be the clearest link yet between one of the alleged boston bombers and the violence that s been gripping southern russia. a u.s. intelligence source told cnn the tsarnaev s brother social media accounts are being examined to possible links to extremists in the caucasus in case they reveal the darkest secrets of boston. why did the bombers do it? nick paton walsh, cnn. the feds certainly questioned the surviving boston bombing suspect today while he lies sedated and restrained in a
initial indictment. go into the grand jury, even present what you see in the complaint, get the return of an indictment, and oftentimes in such a big case with so much additional evidence, over time you do what s called superseding indictments and add more detail in time. but the return of the indictment would forego the need for a probable cause hearing on the 30th. that s 100% correct. that hearing will never take place. there will be an indictment rather than that hearing. then the probable cause hearing. i do note in the transcript, tom fuentes, i want you to come in on this part. the judge says the defendant, tsarnaev, is now remanded from the custody of the agent s present to the united states marshals service. tom, what does that mean? that means that the marshals take control of moving him around once he s ready to be transported out of the hospital.
over at the mosque interviewing people there who knew these two brothers. mosque officials tell us some of the leaders of the mosque have been interviewed by members of the fbi. interestingly enough, too, they tell us the night that dzhokhar tsarnaev was captured, people at the mosque volunteered to go over to that watertown location and try to talk him out of the boat peacefully. i doubt anything was followed up, police were there and talking to them at the time, but the people at the mosque volunteered to do that. brian todd, thank you very much for that report. this is cnn breaking news. all right. we re just getting this in. the new york times has just released the transcript of the exchange that a federal magistrate had today at the bedside of this 19-year-old terror suspect over at the beth israel medical center, including the reading of his miranda rights, the reading of the formal charges, the presentation
