Tsarnaev remained sedated and in serious condition Sunday after suffering unspecified injuries, including to the throat, during a police shootout and ensuing manhunt.

Odd that we have no mention of a gun found with the kid in the boat. Maybe he swallowed it.

Seems like they would either know it to be true, or not, based on a medical examination.

(90 posts)4. Could that even be possible
It looked like he got out of the boat on his own from the pictures I have seen on the news. And the photo of the police walking him to the ambulance.
The pic Ruby posted below is the one i saw on the news.

but no one can seem to explain how he was able to climb out of the boat and surrender if he just ate a pistol.

Maybe someone doesn't want him to talk

he was so badly wounded he couldn't speak and barely move. This is interesting. I hadn't seen it.

(52 posts)7. Can't they still interrogate him either way?
They can ask yes and no questions, he gives the thumbs up, thumbs down?
Then there is also writing. He can use a pen and paper, or a computer?
Speaking is not the only way to communicate.
