New charges against "NATO 3" won't be unveiled until July
By James B. Kelleher
CHICAGO | Tue Jun 12, 2012 4:05pm EDT
(Reuters) - A grand jury in Chicago has returned a new indictment against three men arrested on terrorism charges ahead of last month's NATO summit in the city, prosecutors said on Tuesday.
But the public, the suspects and their defense attorneys won't get to see the indictment until it is unsealed next month, prosecutors said, so it's unclear whether any new charges have been added or any previous charges dropped.
During a brief hearing before Cook County Circuit Court Judge Adam Bourgeois Jr., lawyers for Brent Betterly, 24, Jared Chase, 27, and Brian Church, 20 asked to see the new indictment but prosecutors refused.
Bourgeois called the state's unwillingness to share the updated charges for another month "a little strange" but said he was powerless to compel prosecutors to unseal the indictment.
