The magistrate twice asked Bennett if he needed a public defender or if he could afford his own lawyer. Twice he said he could.
Bennett had entered the court 15 minutes before the brief hearing, escorted by a U.S. Marshal and dressed in blue and white jail garb, his hair and beard cropped short. He mostly looked straight ahead, once or twice glancing at reporters. During the hearing, he also mostly looked ahead, looking at the judge when questioned.
On Tuesday, the judge did not say if the case would be moved for convenience out of Key West, where it was filed because the stolen coins were discovered when the Coast Guard deposited the rescued Bennett in Marathon. No officials were available to speak to reporter afterward.
