Judge Cuts Bail On Accused U.S. Security Violator
Federal Judge Albert V. Bryan reduced bail for Joseph Sidney Petersen Jr from 25000 to 10000 after the defense argued the original amount was excessive. Petersen, a technical research analyst for the National Security Agency, faces charges of unlawfully obtaining national defense secrets. The Justice Department opposed the reduction, warning the case implicates internal US security and possible foreign harm. Petersen, 40, of Arlington Virginia, was arrested by the FBI last Saturday. His attorney argued the bail should be about 35000, noting the severity of espionage charges.
