Skinheads accused in Obama plot to remain jailed

Two white supremacists accused of plotting to kill Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and dozens of other black people must remain in jail, a federal magistrate ruled Thursday. The magistrate granted a defense request to delay a hearing in Memphis, Tennessee, for 20-year-old Daniel Cowart and 18-year-old Paul Schlesselman. He ordered the two to stay behind bars. Their lawyers want more time to prepare for a hearing on whether the case is sent to a grand jury. The two are charged with possessing an illegal firearm, planning to steal weapons and threatening a presidential candidate. Authorities say they plotted a killing spree that would end with them attacking Obama while dressed in white tuxedos and top hats.
