The filmmaker, Mark Basseley Youssef, was arrested on September 27 in southern California on a probation violation and is being held without bond for almost a month. His next court date is three days after the presidential election.
Mr. Youseff's case, which was originally being handled by AUSA Jennifer Williams was kicked up the chain of command at the Central District of Claifornia to Chief Criminal Division prosecutor Asst. U.S. Atty. Robert Dugdale. AUSA Dugdale is second below Obama appointee U.S. Atty. Andre Birotte.
The names are screwing me up. TigersEye, you said the filmmaker was Nakoula. But Van Doorn (shoot, I can’t remember the full handle, to ping him) posted a link saying the filmmaker was Mark Basseley Youssef. Are these the same person, just using a different name?
