“Prosecutors seek grand jury indictment for ‘NATO 3’”
Tuesday, May 22, 2012
SNIPPET: “May 22, 2012 (CHICAGO) (WLS) — The lawyers for three men arrested on terrorism charges during the NATO summit say their clients are being mistreated.
The defense lawyers accuse prosecutors of being slow and secretive as they finalize formal charges. Instead of holding a preliminary hearing, prosecutors will go to a grand jury.
Brian Church, Jared Chase and Brent Betterly are being held at the Cook County Jail’s Cermak Hospital, where officials say they’ve been kept alone under observation since the weekend to ensure they’re not a risk to themselves or other inmates. They were arrested on Wednesday in Chicago’s Bridgeport neighborhood after police allegedly found equipment to make Molotov cocktails and pipe bombs. All three are being held on $1.5 million bond”
