WORCESTER, Mass. — The detention hearing for the 21-year-old member of the Massachusetts Air National Guard charged in connection with the leaked documents probe is expected to continue Friday.
Jack Teixeira is scheduled to appear in federal court in Worcester, Massachusetts, at 3:30 p.m. ET Friday.
Teixeira's public defender, meanwhile, has argued that the airman should be permitted to remain out of pretrial detention in the custody of his father or confined to a home with the presence of either his father, mother, stepfather, Air Force personnel or his lawyers. Teixeira's father testified during the April 27 detention hearing that he was prepared to serve as a third-party custodian pending his son's release.
The criminal complaint alleges that Teixeira"improperly and unlawfully retained and transmitted national defense information to people not authorized to receive it." In a new court filing Wednesday further arguing in support of keeping the defendant behind bars until his trial, prosecutors said Teixeira was twice admonished by his superiors last year over"concerning actions" he took with regard to classified information.
Teixeira's behavior showed"he will be undeterred by any restrictions this court places upon him and will not hesitate to circumvent those restrictions if he deems it in his interest to do so," prosecutors contended.
