Frank James, the suspect behind Tuesday's bloody assault on a Brooklyn subway train, will remain behind bars without bail following his arraignment in a Brooklyn federal court Thursday.
James, 62, was charged with one count of committing a terrorist attack or other violence against a mass transportation system and could face up to life in prison if convicted. The judge did not rule out the possibility of a future bail application.“As alleged, the defendant committed a heinous and premeditated attack on ordinary New Yorkers during their morning subway commute,” U.S. Attorney Breon Peace said.
Authorities detained James on Wednesday after receiving a tip. During Thursday's court appearance, his public defender urged the public against a rush to judgment and indicated that James was the tipster.
