14 DAY TRIAL // The hashtag #FreeJahar has sprung up online following news of DNA traces recovered from a bomb used in the Boston Marathon attacks.
Twitter has become the perfect medium for truthers, conspiracy theorists believing in the Tsarnaevs' innocence, to voice their opinion.
“OK so they found female DNA but the last I checked @J_tsar was a male. Can't wait 2 hear what lies there gonna say about that one,” one Twitter user writes.
As I wrote yesterday, a DNA sample has been collected from Tamerlan Tsarnaev's widow for comparison with the trace found on site.
While the discovery could fuel a search mission for a third suspect, the DNA could belong to a victim or witness in the blasts.
However, I can imagine that the FBI wouldn't be fussing about it had the trace not been located on a section of the bomb only accessible to someone involved in handling it.
