PHOENIX — A federal judge considering whether to release one of two alleged white supremacists charged in a 2004 bombing that injured a Black city official in Scottsdale says he’ll issue a decision by the end of the day. U.S. District Judge David Campbell heard from the city official and lawyers for both sides during a hearing in Phoenix on Tuesday morning. A federal magistrate in Illinois ordered 58-year-old Daniel Mahon’s release on a $50,000 cash bond in July, but federal prosecutors appealed. Mahon and his twin brother Dennis Mahon are charged with conspiracy to damage buildings and property by means of explosive. They were arrested June 25 at their home in Davis Junction, Ill., where authorities say they found assault weapons, hundreds of rounds of ammunition and white supremacist material. ______ Copyright 2009 Associated Press.
