'I felt sick to my stomach': Boston Marathon bombing survivors watch as Tsarnaev pleads not guilty
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) police officers stand outside the federal courthouse for the court appearance by accused Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in Boston, Mass., on July 10.
“He came out and he smirked at the families,” said Ed Fucarile, 64, outside of the John Joseph Moakley federal courthouse along the water in South Boston. “The lawyers put their hands on his shoulders like it was going to be all right.”
Tsarnaev, seated between his lawyers in an unbuttoned orange jumpsuit and black t-shirt with a bandage around his left hand, responded “not guilty” to each of the charges read against him in court. At times he stroked his chin, smiled crookedly, and appeared to look calmly about the courthouse.

Scores of survivors and their supporters crowded into two overflow rooms in the courthouse to watch Tsarnaev’s appearance on television screens. About 30 more, including some who stood glaring with their arms crossed as Tsarnaev was led from the courtroom by U.S. Marshals, filled seats in the main courtroom. It was the alleged bomber’s first court appearance since he was captured by law enforcement, bloodstained and hiding in a boat, on April 19.
