The detained members of a radical Christian militia accused of plotting to kill police and wage war against the US government must remain in jail pending trial, a judge ruled Friday.
"It is difficult to underestimate the dangers inherent in the crimes charged in this case," Magistrate Judge Donald Scheer said in ordering the seven men and one woman to remain in a Michigan jail for what their lawyers said could be a two-year wait until trial.
A ninth defendant is awaiting transfer from Indiana where he was arrested in a series of FBI raids after members of the "Hutaree" militia allegedly said they planned to kill anyone who got in the way of a "covert reconnaissance operation" planned for April.
The "Hutaree" militia members are charged with seditious conspiracy and attempting to use weapons of mass destruction, among other firearms charges.
They have all pleaded not guilty and defense attorneys insist they're just a bunch of guys who liked to dress up in camouflage and play with guns in the woods.
Prosecutors said explosives, bomb components, shrapnel and guns were recovered at a raid on group leader David Stone's trailer home.
The militia counted among their enemies anyone who did not share their beliefs or was participating in the "new world order," an indictment against them found.
The Hutaree website -- pocketed with screeds framed by fanatically religious, apocalyptic scenarios -- says the militia was "preparing for the end time battles to keep the testimony of Jesus Christ alive."
Their alleged plan, after training together since at least 2008, was to kill a law enforcement officer and then attack the funeral with home-made bombs.
The group would then retreat to one of several "rally points" to "wage war against the government and be prepared to defend in depth with trip-wired and command detonated anti-personnel Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), ambushes, and prepared fighting positions."
"It is believed by the Hutaree that this engagement would then serve as a catalyst for a more widespread uprising against the government," the indictment said.
