The Boston Marathon bombing suspect currently hospitalized admitted to FBI agents that he and his brother detonated the bombs planted near the finish line, the Boston Globe reports.

Bunch of lies. Is it even legal to make up all this stuff? If you look up her charges, she has not been charged with possession of crack yet you state she was. Deformation of character perhaps?
