Boston bombing suspect has first public court hearing

Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev will appear in court on Wednesday for the first time since he was found in hiding in a boat days after the attacks. His arraignment will occur in Boston’s federal court. He faces charges of using a weapon of mass destruction.

Court officials, believing the court will be packed with people attending, have reserved room for the victims’ families and reserved an overflow courtroom. This will be the first time Tsarnaev will appear in public since his arrest.
