Judge steps down from Wen Ho Lee case

Tuesday, 6 June 2000 0:58 (ET)



 NEW YORK, June 6 (UPI) -- The federal judge scheduled to hear
the trial of a scientist accused of mishandling nuclear weapons
secrets suddenly withdrew from the case Monday, the New York
Times reported.

 U.S. District Judge John Edwards Conway said he was immediately
taking senior status, cutting back on his workload and handing
off the case involving nuclear weapons laboratory scientist Wen
Ho Lee.

 Lee is accused of downloading thousands of documents containing
secret data to a computer that was not on a secure network while
he worked at the Los Alamos Nuclear Weapons Laboratory. Lee, who
has denied any wrongdoing, has been denied bail and is in the
custody of federal authorities. If convicted he could be
sentenced to life in prison.

 According to the New York Times, the next court date in the Lee
case had been scheduled for Wednesday, in which defense attorneys
were to argue to suppress a warrant used by federal agents to
search Lee's home. Another hearing was set for Monday and the
trial itself was scheduled for November.

 All those dates were cleared and a new schedule is to be set by
Judge James A. Parker, who presided over the Lee bail hearings.
