Tsarnaev Appears In Court For First Time In Over One Year
ResumeBoston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev appeared in the state courthouse this morning. He stood to answer three questions from Judge O'Toole, dressed in a sweater and collared shirt.
Several motions were on the table for the hearing today, most of which the Judge declined to answer in public. The hearing in total took 25 minutes.
"FreeJahar" supporters and victims of the bombings--including one man who had lost a limb in the bombing carrying his prosthetic leg--both showed up outside the courthouse. Inside, court proceedings were interrupted briefly when a woman called out in protest.
