Tsarnaev attorney: 'It was him'
Lawyer for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev “It was him.”
It sounds like this Judy Clarke is the government's "fixer" to get patsies to plead guilty. This is the only way for the FBI to get out of proving they really did have a video showing the planting of the bomb.
Were Clarke really working for Tsarnaev, she could win the case simply by showing the jury the remains of the bomb and backpack, and the photos of both Tsarnaev brothers taken at the scene before the blast, which clearly show the brothers were not the source of the backpack with the bomb!
When Martin Luther King was assassinated, Patsy James Earl Ray was told by his government-appointed attorney that if he did not challenge the official story and pled guilty, Ray would get a short prison sentence. Of course, the judge sentenced James Earl Ray to life without parole then refused to allow Ray to change his plea! I suspect the same thing is happening here. Clarke has likely told Dzhokhar Tsarnaev that if he pleads guilty and says his brother made him do it, he will get a light sentence. And Dzhokhar Tsarnaev won't know how badly he is being screwed until it is too late.
What do former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, an appeals court justice, several potential members of the Boston Marathon bombing jury and thousands of regular Americans have in common?
They all believe that they’ve seen a video of accused bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev dropping a deadly backpack behind victims at the marathon on April 15, 2013—a video his defense said “does NOT actually exist.”
In a pre-trial hearing yesterday, Tsarnaev defense attorney David Bruck argued that the April 18, 2013, press conference in which former Boston FBI Special Agent in Charge Richard DesLauriers identified the brothers should be excluded from evidence. That, he argued, is because the FBI agent described the video footage that doesn’t really exist, which subsequently was used to convict Tsarnaev in the media.

U.S. District Judge George A. O’Toole ordered the defense and prosecution to edit the recording of DesLauriers’ press conference in a manner satisfactory to both sides. He reserved the right to rule on the defense’s motion to suppress the entire recording if the two sides can’t agree.
Video? What Video?
Still, how is it that so many people believe they’ve seen a video that doesn’t exist? And, why, if it doesn’t exist, was this farce allowed to continue for nearly two years?
As WhoWhatWhy pointed out last month, verbal intimations by government officials, video of Tsarnaev and his brother walking down Boylston carrying backpacks like thousands of other marathon-goers and a TV re-enactment are all that’s ever been “seen” by the public.
The only time a video of this nature has been seen is in a National Geographic docu-drama entitled, “Inside the Hunt for the Boston Bombers.” The video, however, was not actual footage of Tsarnaev, but a re-enactment of video the FBI said it saw. The grainy footage wasn’t even shot in Boston—actors created the scene on the streets of Phoenix, Arizona.
The issue of the video was even considered a reason to move the case out of Boston, with one 1st Circuit Court of Appeals judge comparing it to a televised confession in a landmark Supreme Court case involving prejudicial pre-trial publicity.
At a Feb. 19 hearing, appellate Judge Juan Torruella asked whether a “video of Tsarnaev placing a backpack at the site of the bombing” was “the same thing” as Wilber Rideau’s TV confession. In Rideau, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned his 1961 murder conviction because his confession was broadcast widely in the parish from which his jury was drawn. Tsarnaev’s attorneys cited the Rideau case in their attempts—so far futile—to argue that such publicity has hurt their client’s right to a fair trial in Boston.
And now, as the opening of the trial draws near, inferences and Hollywood re-enactments may be all that’s left of the so-called video evidence of Tsarnaev dropping a backpack.

You have not seen that Boston Marathon video
If you followed media coverage of the April 2013 Boston Marathon bombing — and it was hard not to follow it, if you were awake and in the United States – do you remember seeing the video in which Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the younger of the two suspects, sets his backpack down on the pavement a few moments before one of the bombs goes off? If so, you’re in good company: Lots of people do, including at least one federal appeals court judge in Massachusetts and one potential juror in the Tsarnaev case.
But if you think you haven’t seen it, you are right. In fact, it may not exist at all.
The public first heard about the video from then-Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick on “Meet the Press” on April 21, two days after Tamerland Tsarnaev died following a shootout with police and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was captured. Host David Gregory posed this question: “Is there anything on the videotape that maybe the public hasn’t seen about his reaction that was particularly telling that moved the investigation along?”
