Pine Middle shooter denies charges

Reno boy denies charges in school shooting:

Is this the same as pleading not guilty?

A 14-year-old boy accused of wounding two classmates in a shooting at a Reno middle school has denied four charges against him and will face trial in June.

James Scott Newman sat quietly in a hearing before a juvenile court master as his lawyer entered the denial pleas for him.

How can someone who fired a gun in a crowded school hallway in front of dozens of witnesses deny the charges?

I can’t wait to hear the defense on this one.
