Terror suspect David Williams’ father went on an anti-Semitic rant after his son and three others entered not guilty pleas.
“The government is blowing this up, especially those Jews,” David Williams Sr. said of allegations the four suspects plotted to blow up Bronx synagogues.
“Those Jews in the media are turning this into something it is not.”
The younger Williams and co-defendants Laguerre Payen, James Cromitie and Onta Williams pleaded not guilty to a federal indictment that accuses them of conspiring to use weapons of mass destruction. If guilty, they could face life in prison.
Payen tried to portray himself as mentally unfit to stand trial. “I don’t understand the stuff the court talks about,” he said in White Plains Federal Court.
Federal prosecutor Eric Snyder said it was a crazy act.
“On April 28, he is on a very clear recording talking about beating the case in a very sophisticated way,” Snyder said. “It’s very different from the way he’s talking now in an effort to mislead the court.”
