The Tsarnaev brothers' mother is providing more details of her first conversation with Dzhokhar post-arrest.

He told his parents that he and Tamerlan weren't involved in the Boston bombings, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva notes. Though he said his health was improving—he's been able to walk again—and he has an excellent doctor, "He didn't hold back his emotions ... as if he were screaming to the whole world: What is this? What's happening?" Tsarnaeva tells the AP.
