Damn. How'd that kid make it out of there alive, that's a lot of bullet holes. Woooo.
It's amazing. He wasn't holding on by much when they apprehended him though.
He'd been holed up in there for most of a full day, according to reports and the note matches with the suspect's statements given to authorities in the hospital, before he was charged.
If Tsarnaev pleads "not guilty" and the statements reportedly made to authorities can't be used against him, that boat might well sink him. On its wall, he reportedly wrote that he and his brother carried out the bombings in retaliation for Muslims killed in Afghanistan and Iraq. He also noted that he would soon be joining his dead brother (paraphrased).
Hard for any defense attorney to claim that dying note could be misinterpreted. If it's authentic, it'll serve as both a confession to the crime and also provides the motive for it.
