Gun buyer in San Bernardino attack faces arraignment
- 8 years ago
Over 10 days of interviews with the FBI, the man accused of buying the assault rifles used in the San Bernardino attack provided a lot more than prosecutors needed to charge him with weapons violations.
Enrique Marquez Jr. also revealed plots he and his friend, Syed Rizwan Farook, discussed but never carried out to slaughter students at a community college and murder motorists on a congested freeway.
Marquez's alleged admissions have him facing charges of conspiring to provide material support to terrorists when he's arraigned Wednesday in Riverside federal court.
Authorities said Marquez was not involved in the killings, but that his failure to warn authorities about Farook and his purchase of the guns had deadly consequences.
A lawyer for Marquez argued unsuccessfully that his client should be released on bond because he had willingly spoken with the FBI while he was not in custody and never fled.
