Did the brothers get set up?
I have been doing a lot of reading on the Boston Marathon Bombing including a letter written by Tamerlan and Dzhokhar's Aunt who is an attorney (her letter was on change.org) and I wonder if the brothers may have been set up.
1) There was a live announcement and tweet that there was going to be a drill at the Marathon right before the bombing. The blueprint of the drill included backpacks with pressure cookers on the ground.
2) It was reported that Tamerlan was an undercover agent working for the government.
3) There were other men walking around the marathon carrying large black packs and dressed in the same colored shirt and pants as Tamerlan. The emblem on their backpacks matched the emblem on one of the exploded bags.
4. The younger brother's finger prints were not found on any of the bombs or bomb materials and there was no trace of bomb making materials found in his dorm or in Tamerlan's house. This came out during his trial. It also came out during his trial that they didn't know who built the bombs and that the firecrackers they found in his dorm would not have had enough powder to make the bombs.
5. Dzhokhar's backpack was white and Tamerlan's was gray. The exploded backpacks were dark black.
6. A live video of Tamerlan's arrest which is on youtube, has Tamerlan himself saying Podstava as the cops arrest him, which means set up in Russian. There is another video where the cops are shooting at them and the brothers keep shouting that they didn't do it. This part might mean nothing since I am sure a lot of criminals say they didn't do it but I still wanted to include it,
7. According their aunt, Dzhokhar's lawyers visited his parents and told them that they knew that Dzokhar was innocent and that the appeals was how they were going to free him.
8. Their friend was killed in Florida during an interview at his home with police. One of the bullets struck him on the top of his head. He had just had knee surgery so he would not have been able fight with anyone.
I wonder if the brothers thought they were just going to be part of a drill, set down backpacks they were given thinking they were fake bombs, and then got set up for the bombing. That would explain also why they just went back to their normal lives and didn't try to flee or escape until they saw their faces on the news. Then they freaked out and went on the run.
The video they showed during Dzokhar's trial was so blurry and from a distance so you couldn't really tell who shot the cop.
I could be wrong about this, I'm just going by what I have read, and my feelings based on that information. I feel terrible for those who lost their lives and were injured that day. No one deserved to be so horribly injured, killed, or forever scarred emotionally. I truly hope that I am wrong about my theory because I would not want an innocent man being driven insane in super max and eventually put to death.
Again, I could easily be wrong, but there are just things that don't make sense about that day. I mean no disrespect to those who were injured, died, lost someone, or those who fought to save all those lives that day.
