Tsarnaev questioned for 16 hours before he was read Miranda rights
• The LookoutDzhokhar Tsarnaev, suspected of bombing the Boston
Marathon with his older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was questioned for
16 hours by authorities before being read his Miranda rights, the AP reports today.
Tsarnaev, a 19-year-old college student, confessed his role in the crime during the questioning in his hospital room, but that confession may not be admissible in court. Once he was advised of his right to seek counsel and remain silent by a representative from the U.S. attorney's office, the suspect stopped talking.
