A Massachusetts man is facing his second month in jail without bail on terrorism charges because of a Facebook in a case that free speech advocates argue is prosecutorial overreach.
High school student Cameron D'Ambrosio called the White House a "federal house of horrors" and made a reference to the Boston Marathon bombings in the post that has landed him in jail. He has since plead not guilty to a charge of "communicating a terroristic threat," which holds a prison sentence of up to 20 years.
The 18-year-old was arrested on May 1, two weeks after a bombing at the Boston Marathon killed three people and injured more than 260 people.
"There are no more threats that are high school pranks," said police chief Joseph Solomon during a press conference following the arrest. "If they're thinking that way, they need to get their heads into 2013." Full story...
