Charge against Hutaree militia members stands
COMPILED FROM REPORTS BY MATT HELMS AND THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Michigan
Members of the Michigan-based Hutaree militia failed Wednesday to persuade U.S. Magistrate Judge Paul Komives in Detroit to recommend dismissal of a seditious conspiracy charge against them.
Nine people were charged last spring with conspiracy to commit rebellion against the U.S. and other crimes. Defense attorneys have argued that no rebellion was afoot, just offensive comments about law enforcement. They say it's free speech.
