'Never in his life': Father of Tsarnaev's friend questions FBI slaying of son

24. Well, we don't know all the details.

If I were a criminal, and had a hope in hell of making a run for it, after, say, the FBI said they found my fingerprints or DNA at the scene of the Waltham crime, I'd be faking an attitude where I was all relaxed and cooperative, hoping I could stab some guy (or maybe all three--like he and Tamerlan managed to do with the pot dealers) and run like hell. Or maybe he decided he'd go the martyr route, and try to take one or more cops with him-- which would apply if that execution in Waltham had anything to do with the religion of the three deceased men (they were all Jews).

He must have known that the jig was up, that they had him dead to rights--and it might have been something stupid and simple, like his own DNA at that apartment. We don't know if he knew any of those dead guys, but we do know that Tamerlan did--and it IS awfully odd that the guy had moved to FL but went back to MA right around the time those three were executed.
