A 16-year-old will continue to be held without bail in Indiana, despite his mother’s attempt to demand his release through habeas corpus.

Annette Lundeby filed a 14-page brief in federal court acknowledging her claim that her son was with her in church at the time of the February 15 telephone call that summoned a bomb squad and evacuated the Mechanical Engineering building at Purdue. Lundeby moved from North Carolina to Indiana to personally fight for her child’s freedom. She has even challenged the authority of her son’s prosecutor to represent the United States.

The case is sealed because Lundeby’s son is a minor. The judge dismissed her petition on Wednesday. The lawyer representing her son sought a pre-trial for the case that was denied and has yet to appeal the loss.
