Specific evidence has led federal officials to believe that Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev did not act alone in planning the Boston Marathon attacks, according to arguments submitted Wednesday by the US Attorney’s office.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s lawyers have requested that potentially incriminating comments he made while investigators questioned him at his hospital bedside to be scrapped as evidence in the case against him.
In response to the defense’s motion, the prosecution filed an opposition in the US District Court in Boston to suppress the statement Tsarnaev made during his hospital stay, stating Tsarnaev was never forced to answer any of the questions investigators had asked. The report also states that the prosecution does not plan to use Tsarnaev’s statements as its main argument during the trial and sentencing phase.
One of the filings by the prosecution stated that investigators were led to believe from the bedside questioning that “the Tsarnaevs had accomplices and that they or others might have built additional bombs that posed a continuing danger to public safety.”

A: People who, when presented with uncomfortable facts, choose denial (often calling it "patriotism"
over dealing with the truth ... aka "the easy way out."
It does, after all, take time, effort, an open mind and even some courage to study the details of a case as filled with glaring anomalies, inconsistencies and questionable details as the Boston Marathon Bombing has been since (arguably) BEFORE the bombs even went off.
Unfortunately, questioning the "official story" about ANYthing these days too often results in being branded a "conspiracy theorist" or "tin foil hatter."
Even those trying to, for example, sort out the discrepencies in two conflicting FBI statements withOUT suggesting they're part of a dark, "evil government" theory risk being derided as "crazy" simply for asking.
For me, the biggest problem with "conspiracy theories" is that there's unassailable proof some truly terrible conspiracies HAVE been perpetrated by our government and other powerful organizations including MKULTRA (in which he CIA performed LSD experiments on unknowing civilians) and the Tuskeegee Syphillis Study (in which hundreds of African-American men infected with the disease were never treated for it or even told they had it).
Those precedents entirely aside and WITHOUT any pre-conceived theories, some of the oddities which have emerged in the aftermath of the Boston Marathon Bombing are disconcerting:
* Remember the guy the Tsarnaev brothers supposedly car-jacked -- and to whom they reportedly confessed? In the flurry of TV interviews he gave in the immediate aftermath of his ordeal, his face and voice were always concealed and he's still only ever been identified as "Danny." Though a comparison of his various statements shows that they're not just inconsistent but are even, at times, conflicting, he's remained anonymous and never been asked for clarification.

* The circumstances surrounding the MIT security guard's murder as described by the media are not consistent with recordings of the police calls.

* The "confession" Dzhokhar Tsarnaev supposedly scrawled on the fiberglass hull of the trailered boat in which he lay wounded and hiding (in the dark) wasn't disclosed by the FBI until a full month after the bombings and it's only ever been quoted -- the FBI has never released any full text or photos of it. (And only after a reporter asked what kind of pen could write on fiberglass did the FBI describe it as "a marker."

* The killing of material witness Ibragim Todashev with 7 shots (some in his back) by FBI agents after four days of interviewing him and just moments before, they claimed, he was going to sign a confession re: an earlier murder in which both Tsarnaev brothers also supposedly participated. The only investigation of Todashev's killing that was allowed and which completely exonerated the FBI of any wrongdoing was done by ... the FBI.

There are many others but these are likely enough to spur an angry detractor or two into posting insults -- but, invariably, never proof.
