NYC subway shooting suspect Frank James to plead guilty in terrorism case

NEW YORK — Frank James, who’s accused of wounding 10 people last spring during a rush hour mass shooting on a Brooklyn subway, is expected to plead guilty in his federal terrorism case, according to a new court filing.

James, 63, who was hit with upgraded charges last week, advised his lawyers “that he wishes to schedule a guilty plea to the superseding indictment,” according to a letter filed Wednesday by his lawyers.
