David Berkowitz known as the Son of Sam pleaded innocent to two more counts of second degree murder for the killings of two women in Queens County last year. He appeared at Kings County Hospital in Brooklyn for arraignment while undergoing psychiatric tests and was remanded to his cell with a hearing set for Sept. 1.
