(Reuters) - The Australian man accused of killing 51 worshippers at two mosques in New Zealand in March pleaded not guilty to all charges in a court on Friday.

In an attack broadcast live on Facebook, the lone gunman armed with semi-automatic weapons targeted Muslims attending Friday prayers in Christchurch on March 15, in New Zealand's worst peace time mass shooting.

Brenton Tarrant, 29, appeared by video link and entered his plea through his lawyers.



quote:

Tarrant faces total of 92 charges after New Zealand filed two additional attempted murder charges, one murder charge and one terrorism charge. This is the first time a terrorism charge has been brought in New Zealand.

Tarrant stood facing the camera from a high security facility in Auckland, mostly with an impassive expression but smirking at times including as his lawyer entered a not guilty plea on his behalf.

Around 80 members of Christchurch's Muslim community sat in the back of the court, solemn and quiet throughout the appearance. There were some quiet gasps when the not guilty plea was entered by the Tarrant's lawyer.

This doesn’t mean anything

Similar POS Paul Manafort also pleaded guilty

They shouldn't even have to go through the motions with this guy. Just take him out back and put a bullet in his head.

More than likely a way to get all the terrible details of the event spread even further into the public eye. That was seemingly the main theme of those message board posts he made before the attack. If he pleads guilty they could bypass alot of the gruesome evidence that will now show up in public record

He wasn’t driving, he was traveling.

Yeah I stopped watching it when he fired his first shots. So I didn’t see anything gruesome but I heard it was awful...

Bold move considering he Facebook lived the whole thing


ETA:

I think that's the first time I've actually seen his face, other articles I've seen since his arrest have had his face blurred. I actually like that, less fame for these fricks

Does NZ do the death penalty? I’m assuming no

I watched the video he captured.

People are not very bright when it comes to an emergency.

Didn’t realize the 3rd Hemsworth brother was driven to terrorism.
