On June 26 the court handling Jim's case extended the time from June 30 to July 11 for the USA to file an indictment.
This is from an on-line docket of the case via Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) a subcription service for federal courts.
No indication that Jim has been released, jailed since his arrest on May 16. No reason given for repeated waiver of right to a speedy trial.

Thanks for keeping us up to date. Jim always seemed to me to be a loony, but I never (and still don't) think he's capable of the things the warrent alleges him to have been planning.
Agreed. The time I met Jim he seemed like a loon. A harmless one at that... (The stinkbomb attacks are about as far as he would go. (And I happen to know that he is guilty of at least one of those.)) The government seems pretty afraid of someone who only has a history of petty vandalism with chemicals. I wonder what else they are afraid of and to what lengths they will go to stop it. Reminds me of some of the "government is dead" threads of a couple of years back. My response was something to the effect of "The government is not like an old man dying in a corner. It is more like an old man having an epeliptic seizure in a crowded mall with lots of guns.". If the govenrment is on the way to losing its power over the people, they are going to take as many of us down with them on the way out. alano@teleport.com | "Those who are without history are doomed to retype it."
