Excerpt:

Jan 13, 2011 (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- Accused of biting two FBI agents, and now painted by prosecutors as a would-be suicide bomber, 21-year-old Emerson W. Begolly will remain in jail pending trial, U.S. District Judge Maurice B. Cohill decided today.

The detention hearing that led to that decision followed a similar hearing last week, after which U.S. District Magistrate Judge Ervin S. Swearingen ruled that Mr. Begolly could be released to a halfway house. Both the U.S. Attorney's Office and the Federal Public Defender's Office appealed, with the former saying he should stay in jail and the latter saying he should return to his father's Mayport home. He has remained jailed pending those appeals.

PG VIDEO: RAW VIDEO -- FBI EVIDENCE Today prosecutors presented new evidence, including FBI testimony regarding the placement of weapons in Mr. Begolly's bedroom at his father's house, and online communications linked to him through his personal laptop.
