The accused allegedly drove from Philadelphia to New York City last month and unleashed several smoke bombs and bullets on a subway car of morning commuters in Brooklyn. There were no fatalities, but 10 people were shot and 13 others were injured during the attack.
Prosecutors claim the attack was pre-meditated and if they win their case James could serve up to life in prison. His next court appearance is expected July 25.
