Defending those accused of unthinkable crimes

"...On a Thursday morning in December, Dzhokhar was in US District Court in Boston for a pretrial hearing, his first such appearance in more than 18 months. He wore gray pants and a dark sweater over a white dress shirt. He came with a full beard. He fidgeted with his arms but otherwise appeared calm. Clarke sat next to him, and then David Bruck. Judge George O’Toole Jr. asked Tsarnaev a couple of basic questions. His answer each time was pro forma: “Yes, sir.”

Then O’Toole asked Tsarnaev if he was confident his lawyers had been acting in his best interest.

“Very much,” he said...."
