NEW YORK — The accused Brooklyn subway shooter was held without bail Tuesday afternoon at a brief Brooklyn Federal Court hearing after prosecutors argued for his continued imprisonment in the “premeditated and carefully planned” rampage aboard a crowded N train.
Suspect Frank James, flanked by two federal public defenders, said nothing other than to acknowledge the charges against him during the seven-minute session one day after the city’s most wanted criminal was taken into custody.
“His mere presence on the street is a danger to the community,” said Assistant U.S. Attorney Sara Winik before the order from Magistrate Judge Roanne Mann came down to end the hearing.
