Clocking back in, briefly, Cboldt. Thanks for the links. Please let me address the 700 mile separation issue. He is being tried in the state where the crime allegedly occurred.

Why do I think the Feds got involved? Two reasons: 1. Alleged crime committed across state lines; and 2. A bomb threat is considered a Federal offense.

I can appreciate Mrs. Lundeby's frustration at not being able to be near her son. I'm sure that she has a job and anyhow doesn't have the money to move to Indiana during the upcoming legal procedings.

Note how much William Grigg of lewrockwell.com backed off in today's column compared to yesterday's? Can Amanda Lamb, WRAL-TV reporter, be far behind?

At this point we are talking about detention, not trial. I have no quarrel that making the bomb threat using the phone is a federal offense, and that's the case even if the phone threat is phoned to the building across the street. All telephone, mail, and IP-based bomb-threats are in the scope of Federal action, according to statute.

Yes. He's a typical media dumb ass. I also notice a substantial volume of useless cruft keying off "technical errors" as though pointing out a technicality addresses the substantive questions. The basic substantive questions are not being fully answered.

I neglected to ask if you could account for his relocation, in light of this provision of statutory law:

... Whenever possible, detention shall be in a foster home or community based facility located in or near his home community.
18 USC 5035

And then there is the speedy trial provision in the same chapter, that requires the government to bring the defendant to trial w/in 30 days of commencement of detention. "If an alleged delinquent who is in detention pending trial is not brought to trial within thirty days ... " blah blah blah ... case dismissed.
