Navy engineer's wife detained in conspiracy case, though she fought for release
CBSN
Washington - A federal judge in West Virginia ordered the wife of a Navy submarine engineer accused of trying to sell confidential data to a foreign nation detained until her trial, rejecting her lawyers' arguments for her release.
Diana Toebbe, who on Wednesday pleaded not guilty to one count of conspiracy to communicate restricted data and two counts of communication of restricted data, asked Magistrate Judge Robert Trumble to release her to her family's home in Annapolis, Maryland to care for her two children until her trial. Her husband, Jonathan Toebbe, acceded to the government's request to remain detained pending trial.
"He understands he remains incarcerated," his court-appointed lawyer, Nicholas Compton, told the judge.
