Defense lawyers for a friend of the accused Boston Marathon bomber charged with lying to investigators turned the spotlight on marijuana culture on Wednesday as they began to present their case that their client was too high to have been able to lie.
The first defense witness called to testify on behalf of Robel Phillipos, 21, who is charged with lying to the FBI about a visit to the suspected bomber's college dorm room three days after the attack that killed three people and injured more than 260, said he spent much of the day of the visit smoking marijuana with the defendant. At one point they got into a car to contain the cloud of smoke, he said.
"The term, if I'm correct, is 'fishbowling,' and that is basically leaving the windows completely up and letting the smoke stay in the vehicle," said Lino Rosas, 21, who like Phillipos had been a student at the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth at the time of the April 15, 2013 bombing. "It's to get more affected by the marijuana."
Federal prosecutors contend that Phillipos, and two other friends of accused bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, went to the suspect's dorm room three days after the attack, shortly after the FBI released photos of the suspected bombers, and removed a backpack containing empty fireworks shells.
One of the Kazakhs, Azamat Tazhayakov, was convicted in July of obstruction of justice for taking the backpack. The other, Dias Kadyrbayev, pleaded guilty to obstruction in August.

Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras comfortably won a confidence vote aimed at rallying support for his plan to abandon a widely-reviled EU/IMF aid package and ending speculation that his government is on its last legs.
Having endured party defections, riots and various government crises in his nearly two and half years in office, Samaras could face the prospect of snap polls if he fails to push through his candidate in a presidential election in early 2015.
The confidence vote is an effort by Samaras to show Athens is determined to avoid early elections and force grumbling lawmakers into publicly backing him, allowing him to present a united front at negotiations with EU/IMF lenders on exiting a 240-billion-euro ($300-billion) bailout a year early.
"The only thing that seems to be worrying markets now is the so-called political risk, which means whether the political stability which we restored will be maintained," Samaras said. "With this vote of confidence we are cementing this stability."
All 155 lawmakers from Samaras's New Democracy and Socialist PASOK parties backed the government in the 300-seat parliament early on Saturday. Samaras's parliamentary support rose to 155 deputies after a rebel lawmaker returned to the conservative fold on Thursday.
