The man accused of killing 51 people at two Christchurch mosques has pleaded not guilty to all the charges filed against him. Brenton Tarrant smiled as his lawyer, Shane Tait, entered the not guilty pleas, but otherwise showed little emotion during the hearing at the Christchurch High Court. In the March 15 attacks, 42 worshippers were killed at the Al Noor mosque and seven were killed at the Linwood mosque during Friday prayers. New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has vowed never to say the accused man’s name.
