Relatives believe Tsarnaev is innocent

(9 Apr 2015) RESTRICTION SUMMARY: AP CLIENTS ONLY SHOTLIST AP TELEVISION - AP CLIENTS ONLY Grozny - 9 April 2015 1. Maret Tsarnaeva, aunt of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (convicted Wednesday on all charges in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings), talking 2. Cutaway of Tsarnaeva's arms 3. SOUNDBITE (Russian) Maret Tsarnaeva, aunt of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev: "I absolutely do not agree with this verdict because there are many more facts and testimonies of witnesses proving that they (meaning both brothers) are not guilty rather than (facts proving that they are) guilty. Yesterday America showed to the whole world how corrupted is the judicial system in the United States today, particularly in this case with our boys." 4. Roza Tsarnaeva, cousin of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's father, crossing yard 5. SOUNDBITE (Russian) Roza Tsarnaeva, cousin of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's father: "From the very first day I've been thinking that this was the doing of the (American) secret services, that these boys have nothing to do with this terrorist attack. When something happens the first thing you have to do is ask: 'Why? Who needs this?'. These boys didn't need this. They didn't live here in Grozny, they never saw war, they knew nothing about war, they were little when they arrived in the US and grew up there." 6. Cutaway of hands 7. SOUNDBITE (Russian) Roza Tsarnaeva, cousin of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's father: "One should also take into account that no one in the Tsarnaev family, none of the relatives, ever took part in the first or second war (in Chechnya). That's why I think that this terrorist attack has nothing to do with these boys." 8. Abdulbaki Todashev, father of Ibragim Todashev, a friend of one of the Tsarnaev brothers killed in 2013 by an FBI agent, walking on street 9. SOUNDBITE (Russian) Abdulbaki Todashev, father of Ibragim Todashev: "Judging by how they (US authorities) have handled me and my son, I believe that (Dzhokhar) Tsarnaev has been found guilty not quite in a right way. In America they can make up any kind of case against you and convince a person without facts." 10. Todashev walking on street STORYLINE: Relatives of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who was found guilty by a US jury of the Boston Marathon bombing, said on Thursday that they believe Tsarnaev is innocent. Roza Tsarnaeva, a 66-year-old cousin of Tsarnaev's father, told The Associated Press in Chechnya that she remains convinced that Tsarnaev and his now-dead elder brother had no reason to carry out such an attack. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was found guilty on Wednesday of all 30 counts against him, and now the same jury in Boston must decide whether he should be sentenced to death or to life in prison. "No one in the Tsarnaev family, none of the relatives, ever took part in the first or second war (in Chechnya)," when separatists, some of them radical Islamists, fought against Russian troops, Tsarnaeva said. Maret Tsarnaeva, an aunt of Dzhokhar, said that "there are many more facts" proving her nephew's innocence than facts proving he is guilty. Relatives of the Tsarnaev brothers in Chechnya, the republic in southern Russia that is the family's ancestral homeland, have consistently expressed disbelief that the brothers carried out the April 2013 bombing. They also have long put forth the unsubstantiated conspiracy theory that the bombing was carried out by the US secret services. The Tsarnaev brothers' father, who lives in the neighbouring republic of Dagestan, has not answered repeated phone calls or responded to text messages seeking his comment. =========================================================== Clients are reminded: Find out more about AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/HowWeWork Twitter:   / ap_archive   Facebook:   / aparchives   ​​ Instagram:   / apnews   You can license this story through AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/metadata/you...
