At James’ arraignment Friday, US District Judge William Kuntz read from the indictment charging James with one count of a terrorist attack and other violence against a mass transportation system, and one count of discharging a firearm during a crime of violence.
When asked how he would plead, James answered, “not guilty” to both counts.
James, wearing a tan jail uniform and a blue mask, said he was “pretty good” when questioned by Kuntz, who also asked him about his educational background. James said he was born in the Bronx and listed off several schools he attended there.
“I have a GED,” James said in court. “I have some certificates from various trade schools.”
Prosecutors asked for James to remain detained until his trial, and James’ attorney, Mia Eisner-Grynberg, said she would not enter a bail application at this time.
Grynberg had no further comment when contacted by CNN.
There will be a status conference in the case on July 25 at 2:30 p.m.
