Court weighs whether to release militia members
Court Alerts
A federal prosecutor has told an appeals court in Ohio that five jailed members of a Midwest militia are a threat to public safety. The prosecutor says they should stay in jail until they're tried on charges of plotting to overthrow the government.
But attorneys for the defendants told the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday that the government hasn't proven their clients are dangerous.
The defendants are among nine members of the Michigan-based Hutaree (hoo-TAH'-ray) accused of conspiracy to commit sedition. Two from Michigan and two from Ohio have been released as they await trial.
A federal judge has said the remaining five, from Michigan and Indiana, could go home with electronic monitors. The government is appealing that order.
The appeals court did not issue a ruling Tuesday.
