A man pleads not guilty to setting fire to Mississippi synagogue

The man accused of setting fire to a Mississippi synagogue pleaded not guilty to a federal arson charge on Tuesday. The fire badly damaged the Beth Israel Congregation, a historic synagogue that was bombed by the Ku Klux Klan in 1967 for the congregation's involvement in the Civil Rights Movement. During the hearing, Magistrate Judge LaKeysha Greer Isaac denied bond for Stephen Spencer Pittman, ruling that he should be held in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service through the duration of his trial.
