According to a judge, nine members of the Hutaree militia group must wait at least one more day to learn whether a judge in Detroit will release them from custody.

The Detroit Free Press has reported that the Hutaree followers were in court Tuesday to argue they shouldn't be jailed until trial because they don't pose a threat to society.

Hutaree leader David Brian Stone, 45, of Clayton, Mich., and eight others are charged with seditious conspiracy, attempting to use weapons of mass destruction and possession of a firearm in relation to a crime of violence.

It was reported that during Tuesday's hearing, U. S. District Judge Victoria Roberts expressed frustration when FBI agent Leslie Warren, who said she led the two-year investigation, testified she couldn't answer a lot of the questions because she hadn't reviewed her report recently.

Roberts said, "I share the frustrations of the defense team that she doesn't know anything."

It was also reported that the members of the Christian militia group were arrested in late March. The group allegedly planned to provoke an assault by making a false 911 call, shooting any responding police officers and then attacking attendees at the funerals of those officers with bombs.

The Detroit News reported that Roberts ruled Monday lawyers for the nine Hutaree members could compel the FBI agent to testify since federal prosecutors indicated they won't ask the agent to testify during the hearing on whether the defendants should be held without bond until their trials.

The News further said that at the original bond hearing in Detroit, U. S. Magistrate Judge Donald Scheer allowed prosecutors to summarize evidence the FBI agent would give if the agent were to testify, but ruled they did not have to call the agent to court. (With Inputs from Agencies)
