1. I stopped watching at the 3 minute mark...

...she seems upset about the 7 bullet wounds on the suspects body. Did the FBI claim a particular number of shots?

2. Wow

I didn't know Maddow even responded NONE of the other corporate news have touched it.

4. no - the father showed photos of the dead body of his son

the photos were taken by Todashev's friend after the body was released. With seven shots. One in the back of the head.

3. I hope she's gonna be ok:

If she's wrong, it's going to hurt her. If she's right, they're going to hurt her.

5. This "investigative" Globe reporter still wants to sell us

the story that Todashev somehow was involved in the Waltham murders.

Does this reporter - his name is Menzendes or so - not know that Todashev's widow several times explicitly said that neither she nor Todashev were asked by the FBI about the Waltham murders, that they only were interested in the relationship to T. Tsarnaev and the bombings?

Apparently, the FBI agent approached Todashev on the very last occasion (he planned to fly to Russia the next day) with the suspicion that he was involved in the Waltham murders. Allegedly the FBI got a mouthly confession. This "confession" seems to be the only "evidence" the FBI has against Todashev. Otherwise, why didn't they confront the couple with this evidence?

Oh - Todashev's widow might be lying. But his friend, Tamarov, tells the same. Given the mess that the FBI produced in the last week, is there any reason to give the FBI more credibility than these two individuals?

Not to me.
