Overview
- A federal grand jury this week indicted Lawrence Reed, 50, on terrorism for the Nov. 17 Blue Line attack and on arson for an alleged Nov. 14 fire outside Chicago City Hall.
- Reed pleaded not guilty on Friday and remains detained in federal custody without bond.
- Prosecutors say surveillance and court records show Reed filled a bottle with gasoline before boarding at the Kedzie stop, then used an ignited bottle to set 26-year-old Bethany MaGee on fire.
- Officials say MaGee remains hospitalized in critical condition with severe burns following the attack near Clark/Lake.
- Separate filings detail two aggravated-battery counts tied to a March 27 CTA incident, while reporting shows multiple curfew violations during electronic monitoring in the days before the November attack.
