On Wednesday (10Jul13), Dzhokhar Tsarnaev pleaded not guilty to 30 counts, including use of a weapon of mass destruction to kill, during his arraignment hearing in a Boston federal court.
Rockers Styx, Ted Nugent and Reo Speedwagon have helped raise $108,000 (GBP69,677) for the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings after donating a portion of the proceeds from their joint tour to charity.
Three people were killed and another 264 were injured when brothers Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev allegedly planted two pressure cooker bombs near the finish line of the annual race in Massachusetts on 15 April (13).
