In the following several pages, titled Examining The Official Narrative, we go over as many points as possible regarding the "official story" and the discrepancies and lingering questions therein. The following pages are the answers to the most common and important question people have asked us to explain to them: "why do you believe he is innocent?" To Jahar, the Tsarnaev family, friends, and other supporters...we hope we do it justice.

- April 16th - 18th Original suspect is a Saudi national "injured" in the blasts. Agents search Abdulrahman Ali Alharbi's apartment, leaving with bags of evidence. He gets a visit from Michelle Obama personally, Secretary of State John Kerry meets with the Saudi foreign minister, then on April 17th President Obama has a sudden unscheduled meeting with the Saudi foreign minister at the White House; the same day the media was told of an arrest, which was later retracted after a "bomb scare" at the courthouse. Later it is reported that Alharbi is deported for national security reasons, yet "cleared" as a suspect.

- April 18th, 2013 the FBI releases images of suspects and asks for information from the public. They claim not to know the suspects names, nor can their identities be determined through facial recognition. Shortly thereafter it is widely reported and acknowledged that the FBI had prior contact with Tamerlan Tsarnaev, and had supposedly even interviewed him in 2010. According to Zubeidat Tsarnaeva, the boys' mother, the FBI had been in constant contact with Tamerlan for several years. So if the FBI knew exactly who these suspects were, why would they ask the public for help identifying them?

- Official FBI statements regarding Boston bombing suspects and case:
- A runner present at the Boston Marathon describes bomb sniffing dogs and warnings of a "drill" taking place:
- Shortly after the official investigation into the bombings began, photos showing a destroyed BLACK backpack, which the FBI said BOTH bombs were contained in, appeared on the web and in news reports. Two separate bags believed to have housed the bombs were shown; both black in color, yet one did not appear to be a backpack. NEITHER bag matched the appearance of Dzhokhar's WHITE bag.

Above is the link to download the official indictment of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev that states ( on page 3, paragraph 7) that BOTH bags used to bomb the Marathon were BLACK. (Also refer to the video of the FBI press conference above, as well as official statements released by the FBI.)
- Another notable aspect of the backpack issue is that Dzhokhar's bag appears to be hollowed out, or carrying very little weight. This is not indicative of carrying a pressure cooker bomb, a photo example of which is below.
- This is what a 6 quart pressure cooker looks like, for reference to size. This is the size officials reported were used to make the bombs.

- One of the FBI's biggest claims lies in the fact that they have an alleged video of "Suspect 2", Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, placing his backpack on the ground in the blast zone. Though a video is yet to be seen, a photo has emerged supposedly showing Dzhokhar placing his bag on the ground in front of his feet, behind a small crowd of onlookers positioned behind a metal fence/gate. There are several obvious issues with this statement, as well as with the photo itself:
- The first problem is that the bag is not even the same bag. The bag appearing on the ground has black with a small portion of white/gray material. Dzhokhar's bag is mostly white/gray, with stripes of black only occurring on the straps, zippers and back of the bag.
- Second, Dzhokhar's bag was hollow, so it would have almost flattened when being placed on the ground; it would not have stood upright and appeared full as in this alleged photo.
3. The photos above were taken directly after the explosion. In them you can see, from the smoke and debris pattern, that the blast appears to have occurred IN FRONT of the fence and next to the mailbox; sending the fence backwards. (Note: you can see the Forum restaurant clearly in the background; indicating that this is where they placed Dzhokhar for "bomb number 2".)
