An Upstate litigator will be facing a judge after calling in a phony bomb threat in an attempt to delay a trial.
Jacqueline Jones allegedly called in the phony bomb to delay her own trial, that claimed she failed to turn over evidence in a civil action.
The threat caused alarms to go off in the Federal Building and halted all legal procedures for a short time.
Ms. Jones lawyer, Edward Menkin says his client has gone through terrible stress and is "deeply remorseful and embarrassed."
Ms. Jones is scheduled to have a hearing in August. If she is found guilty she faces a year in prison and a $100,000 fine.
