JACKSON, Tenn. (AP) -- One of two men accused of plotting to kill President Barack Obama and dozens of other black people has failed to get a threat charge against him dismissed.
A federal judge in Jackson, Tenn., says the threat charge will remain in the multi-count indictment against accused white supremacist Paul Schlesselman.
The 18-year-old Schlesselman of Helena-West Helena, Ark., and 20-year-old Daniel Cowart of Bells, Tenn., are charged with planning a killing spree targeting black victims that would end with an attack on Obama. They have been jailed without bond since October. No trial date has been set.
Schlesselman argued in a court petition that the alleged threats came during questioning by law enforcement officers and could not have been carried out. Judge J. Daniel Breen rejected that argument Tuesday.
