Aurora Hindu temple shooting plot: Suspect indicted as defense demands speedy trial

Today in court, the suspect accused of plotting that mass shooting at that Hindu temple in Aurora. The 19-year-old is asking for a speedy trial. Gabriela Primus was inside that courtroom, and Gabby, this really was a quick one. What did we learn here? It was really brief, you guys, probably under two minutes, and it started at 9 o'clock in the Rolling Meadows Courthouse, but he didn't come in until around 10.30. That's when Paparakis was actually brought into that courtroom. room. Like you said, it was brief. This was an indictment-related hearing, so it was just kind of part of the process to actually get to trial. We learned today that his original case was superseded by an indictment, and it sounds like that case will move forward under that indictment. It doesn't necessarily mean that he's facing new charges, it's just kind of a part of the legal process, but the next time we will see Paparakis will be November 19th for an arraignment hearing. We were able to talk to his attorney and you'll hear from him in just a second, but authorities say that Paparakis tried to carry out a mass shooting at a Hindu temple in Aurora just last month, but his rifle jammed before he could fire. He was arrested after a co-worker at the Taco Bell he was working at overheard him talking about the attempt and that co-worker alerted police. Inside Paparakis' home, officers recovered weapons, ammunition, a white supremacist manifesto. Paparakis faces state felony charges, including making a terrorist threat. He does remain behind bars after a judge ruled he still poses a threat to public safety. His defense attorney, Fedor Kozlov, has already filed a motion for speedy trial. And like I said, we just spoke to him outside the courthouse. I asked him about that manifesto because it has been brought up in these brief court hearings that I've been in. And here he is. I do not want to comment on anything of the substances at this time. I know that the detective spoke about it. The state's attorney, I think, made a comment about it. But I don't have any comment at this time. It's too early to say. The charges that filed so far, he's planning on pleading not guilty. Okay, so we'll see what this new indictment entails. I asked him how Paparakis is feeling, his client is feeling, and as you could guess, he said anxious and he just wants us to move forward, and that's why Kozlov is still pushing for a speedy trial. Again, the next time we should see Paparakis in court is November 19th in the Rolling Meadows Courthouse, and we'll be there bringing you the very latest. Terrence, Lauren. And Gabby, I just wanted to follow up on this. Before you had mentioned a call for federal charges, anything new there? Oh, yeah, good question, because I have been mentioning my last reports that, well, remember Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi, who was actually at that Hindu temple the day of the reported mass shooting, he and other lawmakers are calling for federal hate crime charges, not just state-level charges here. And I asked Kozlov, Paparakis' attorney, if he's been in contact with federal prosecutors. He said no, he sees this as a political show. So I guess we'll see what comes of it. It doesn't seem like they are getting involved just yet, these federal prosecutors.
