SOON: Jack Teixeira is about to appear in federal court for a continued detention hearing.

Teixeira was arrested April 13 at his home in Dighton, Mass.

He’s accused of leaking highly classified documents.

I’ll be live tweeting updates here.
wpri.com/news/local-new… @wpri12 The courtroom was packed last month, but now fewer reporters and others are here.

The first row is reserved for Teixeira’s family.

I see a few familiar faces, including his father.

Defense is hoping Teixeira can be released into his custody.

NOW: Jack Teixeira has entered a federal courtroom in Worcester handcuffed and wearing an orange PCCF prison uniform.

His detention hearing is supposed to begin momentarily. The courtroom is packed.

wpri.com/news/local-new… @wpri12 Jack Teixeira’s father (also named Jack) is now testifying before the judge.

Note: He pronounces the last name Tex-err-AH, (hard x) not Tesh-air-AH.

HAPPENING NOW: The third day of a bail hearing for Woonsocket twin sisters accused of killing their father in January has resumed.

We’re picking up in the middle of Jennifer Pamula’s hospital bed interview— there’s roughly 40 minutes to go.

wpri.com/news/local-new… @wpri12 In the video, a Woonsocket detective is heard informing Jennifer her father died. She claims she didn’t know he had passed.
