The man who set off smoke bombs on a crowded New York subway train before shooting 10 people last April in one of the most violent attacks ever seen on the city's transit system pleaded guilty on Tuesday to terrorism and weapons charges.
Frank James, 63, appeared in U.S. District Court in Brooklyn and read aloud from a short statement confessing to the attack on a Manhattan-bound N train on April 12, for which he faces a maximum sentence of life in prison.
In May, he had initially pleaded not guilty to 10 counts of committing a terrorist attack and other violence against a mass transportation system and using a firearm during a crime of violence. Prosecutor Sara Winik told the court that the trajectory of the bullets showed James's gunfire was aimed at his victims' torsos because he was trying to kill them. She also said they would be able to prove that James had been planning the attack since 2017.
James smiled with his two public defenders and shook their hands before U.S. marshals escorted him out of the courtroom to return him to the federal Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
