Todashev's written confession
Fick proposed presenting the written confession and argued that it implicated Todashev and Tamerlan and was relevant to the defense account of Tamerlan's influence and family history. Weinreb distinguished Todashev's self-incriminating statements from accusations against Tamerlan, which he challenged as blame shifting and unavailable for cross-examination.
About
The confession formed part of the defense's proposed penalty-phase presentation and the government's request to exclude the Waltham allegations.
