The grand jury indictment handed down this week hits James with 10 charges of carrying out a terrorist attack and other violence, one charge for every individual he allegedly wounded with gunfire. He faces a maximum sentence of life in prison if convicted on any of those counts, according to the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Eastern District of New York.
The investigation found that James had previously posted a number of YouTube videos, which have since been deleted, of himself ranting about conspiracy theories and Mayor Eric Adams’ handling of the homelessness crisis in New York City. After setting off the smoke bomb and opening fire, law enforcement sources said, James slipped out among the crowd and fled the station. He wound up telling police that he was at the scene of the crime — aJames was apprehended the day after the attack, April 13, in the East Village.
James’ attorneys have also asked the court to have the trial relocated to Chicago, claiming that the defendant wouldn’t get a fair trial in New York. Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn have filed a motion against such a relocation.
