Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings, pleaded not guilty on Wednesday to terrorism charges in his first court appearance since his April capture, reports The New York Times. Sporting a casted arm, unkempt hair and an apparent jaw injury, Tsarnaev smiled crookedly at his sisters as he arrived in court. With 30 bombing victims in the courtroom, some wearing the Boston Marathon gear, Tsarnaev entered “not guilty” pleas in a thick accent seven times to groups of charges including using a weapon of mass destruction, according to the Boston Herald.
