WASHINGTON — A husband and wife charged with three decades of spying for Cuba want a judge to let them out of jail and confine them at home, without access to their sailboat and maps of Cuban waters.
Lawyers for retired State Department official Walter Kendall Myers, 72, and his wife, Gwendolyn, 71, filed a motion for release from jail before their hearing Wednesday with U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton. Walton said he would consider it and respond in writing or possibly hold another hearing on the matter if necessary.
Prosecutors said the Myerses talked to an undercover FBI agent about how they would like to sail "home” to Cuba one day.
They have been in a Washington jail since their arrest on June 4.
