((Clad in a maroon prison jumpsuit and looking straight ahead...41 year
old John Allen Muhammad listened as a Federal judge denied him any
chance of going free before his trial.
Judge Jillya Schultz said the man who's accused of terrorizing the
Washington area is not only a flight risk - but a danger to the
community.
The Federal charges against him include the use of a firearms and
extortion.
That incuded an alleged demand of ten million dollars. Defense attorneys
say the extortion case is ridiculous and prosecutors are using it just
to make this a federal case.
Sot: James Wyda/Defense attorney.
...alleging these murders....and bizarre.
Monday...his alleged accomplice - 17 year old John Malvo - was also told
he will stay behind bars until his day in court.
Authorities say the two are the snipers who hid out in a car and shot
unsuspecting victims last month in the nation's capitol - Maryland - and
Virginia.
Ten people were killed and 3 injured.
Now police around the country are looking into unsolved shootings in
their areas to see if the snipers are responsible.
That includes two shootings in Clinton Maryland ...that came before the
sniper attacks. As well as one in Tucson, Arizona where a man was shot
dead on a remote golf course back in March.
STANDUP;
Muhammad will be right back here on Friday...that's when he'll be in
court for his preliminary hearing. Drew Levinson, cbs news, Greenbelt,
