Boston bomb suspect's wife assisting probe -lawyer
By Svea Herbst-Bayliss and Scott Malone
PROVIDENCE, R.I./BOSTON | Tue Apr 23, 2013 7:41pm EDT
(Reuters) - The wife of the dead Boston Marathon bombing suspect is assisting authorities and in absolute shock that her husband and brother-in-law were accused of the deadly blasts, her lawyer said on Tuesday.
"She cries a lot," attorney Amato DeLuca said of Katherine Russell, 24, an American-born convert to Islam who was married to Tamerlan Tsarnaev in June 2010. "She can't go anywhere. She can't work."

Katherine Russell's lawyer called a news conference to deny that she had any connection to or knowledge of the bombings, saying she was busy caring for the couple's 2-1/2-year-old daughter and working as a home healthcare aide in the time leading up to the blasts.
"She is doing everything she can to assist with the investigation," DeLuca said outside his office in Providence, Rhode Island. "The reports of involvement by her husband and brother-in-law came as an absolute shock to them all."

How do you tell your child, daddy killed, 4 people, injured almost 200, and then got himself killed in a shootout, He is never coming home. Now finish eating your cereal.

She would probably need to distance herself and her child from this whole thing for a few years to shelter her somewhat.
