Feds urge limits on phone access of Ohio would-be jihad murderer

christopher_cornellWhy does this clown have any phone access at all? Would it be “Islamophobic” to ban his phone access altogether?

“Feds urge limits on Hamilton Co. terrorism suspect phone access,” WLWT, March 11, 2015:

CINCINNATI (AP) —Federal prosecutors Tuesday asked a judge to restrict phone access for a southwest Ohio man accused of plotting to attack the U.S. Capitol and who recently said he wanted to shoot President Barack Obama in support of Islamic State militants.

Prosecutors filed the motion in the case of Christopher Lee Cornell, who last week made a surprise call from jail to a Cincinnati TV station. The 20-year-old suburban Cincinnati man who has pleaded not guilty to charges in the case was recorded saying if he hadn’t been arrested, he would have gone to Washington and shot Obama in the head and carried out other violence.

U.S. prosecutors said in the motion that allowing easy phone access to a self-proclaimed supporter of Islamic State militants raises security concerns.

“For example, with unfettered access to a phone, the defendant could attempt to contact other individuals who are giving material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization. The defendant could also use the phone access to attempt to solicit, incite, or engage in other acts of violence,” the prosecutors stated.

They want U.S. District Judge Sandra Beckwith to limit Cornell’s phone usage to court-approved contacts, such as his attorneys and immediate family members. A Boone County (Kentucky) Jail official Tuesday evening declined a reporter’s request to talk with Cornell, who has asked to be called by his Muslim name Raheel Mahrus Ubaydah.

Cornell’s attorneys had no immediate response. They had argued unsuccessfully in court against allowing his TV interview to air, saying it could violate the defendant’s right to a fair trial.

Cornell was arrested outside a Cincinnati gun shop Jan. 14 after the FBI said he bought two M-15 assault weapons and 600 rounds of ammunition. The FBI alleged in court documents that Cornell wanted to “wage jihad.” A federal indictment charges Cornell with attempted murder of government employees and officials, solicitation to commit a crime of violence, and a firearms-related count….

    In Australia’s Super Max prison, they have had to ban Arabic. In Super Max, Jihad & Islam are the same thing.

    I agree- why is he given any phone access.

    But, as I wrote in the JW post that discussed his call to the t.v. station.

    HE MADE THE CALL. HE SPOKE VOLUNTARILY.

    Why the hell should that NOT be allowed as evidence of his intents?

    (I would also allow him access, however, to reporters, so he could further incriminate himself).

    Since he WANTS TO BE CALLED BY HIS MUSLIM NAME, why isn’t he? (or, would that be Islamphobic?).

    Since he was (it seems) born in the US., can the US find a crappy place that might accept him, so we don’t waste money keeping this human garbage in prison?
