PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - An Oregon man who has refused to reveal his true name after being accused of assuming the identity of a murdered Ohio boy will remain in jail pending another hearing on whether he can be released to home detention.
The man who claimed to be Jason Robert Evers appeared in federal court on Friday for a hearing that ended with a decision to resume on Monday.
Prosecutors had objected to his release, arguing he's a flight risk because nobody knows who he really is.
But his attorney asked for home detention with electronic monitoring at his house in Bend.
