Tsarnaev remained hospitalized Saturday after being wounded in a firefight with police Friday. His brother was killed.

Conrad says she believes Dzhokhar should have a lawyer appointed as soon as possible because there are “serious issues regarding possible interrogation.”

Miranda rights include the right to remain silent and the right to have a lawyer. MOREHERE
