US judge receives death threats in child abuse case

A US judge has received death threats after granting bail to five suspects in a case involving nearly a dozen allegedly malnourished children found at a remote compound in New Mexico. Judge Sarah Backus granted the three men and two women -- described by authorities as Muslim extremists -- bail on Monday on grounds that prosecutors had failed to present clear and convincing evidence that they posed a threat. Prosecutors say the suspects in the case had trained some of the children -- aged between one and 15 -- to use weapons and carry out school shootings.
