I think each person has to apply their own logic and do the best we can. I still haven't decided concretely that the brothers did this, so I may never feel like I know the truth.
Yerlan Kubashev with the Consulate General for Kazakhstan in New York confirmed in a statement to Fox News that the consulate is helping the young men with legal representation.
Kubashev said the two men are “shocked at the bombings,” and “they express sorrow to the bombing victims and their families.”
Attorney Robert G. Stahl confirmed to Fox News he is representing Kadyrbayev in an upcoming immigration hearing.
"He’s a 19-year-old with student visa problems, and he may or may not be returned to Kazakhstan," Stahl said.
Fox News' Catherine Herridge contributed to this report.

From what I understand so far...the 3 people being held and questioned...may be charged with (obstruction of justice); they may have gotten rid of some evidence (after the fact) of the young man that is still alive; and is being charged with the Boston bombings.
I do get the feeling that whoever these 3 young people are; they are probably going to do time in prison.

From what I'm hearing, it doesn't sound like these kids were directly involved...just lied to police to try to protect their friend (which should be a lesson to everyone...don't lie to police).

They lied to the FBI; and that is one of the reasons they may do time in prison.

If they are involved...what a dumb license plate to buy for his buddy.....
The Kazakh Foreign Ministry said Monday night that U.S. authorities came across the two while searching for "possible links and contacts" to Tsarnaev, a sophomore at the university. U.S. immigration officials have declined to discuss the reasons why the men were detained.
John Hoey, an assistant chancellor at UMass Dartmouth, said Kadyrbayev is no longer enrolled; he was last a student in the fall. Tazhayakov is enrolled.
The pair had lived at an off-campus apartment in New Bedford, about 60 miles south of Boston, and got around in a car registered to Kadyrbayev with a souvenir plate that says "Terrorista (hash)1." The car was pictured on Tsarnaev's Twitter feed in March.
That plate was just a joke gift from some of Kadyrbayev's friends, meant to invoke his penchant for late-night partying rather than his political sentiments, Stahl said.

I am compelled again to point out that this licence plate has nothing whatsoever to do with "terrorism". I can just imagine these kids explaining it to their lawyer the way kids might try to explain something like this to their grandparents i.e. "it's just a joke grandma". It is genuinely a reference to a club remix that has become very popular in the club dance scene called "Harlem Shake".

I need to ask, pennylemon:
How can you be so certain?
Do you know any of these characters personally?

Here is some info on possible charges they were arrested under.....
CBS confirms 3 suspects were arrested for harboring/aiding the bombing suspects after the fact. These will be federal charges.
I would think they may be possible room mates?
