A judge has also declined to release one of two men charged in a deadly shooting at a 24-hour arts and music festival in New Jersey's capital city on June 17.

Defense attorney Christopher Olsen argued Friday for the release of White, 27, pending his trial on aggravated assault and weapons charges in the shooting at the Roebling Wire Works Building where the event was hosted.

Olsen said his client has "severe" injuries and "extensive nerve damage" and "can barely walk now."

Superior Court Judge Anthony Massi said White and the actions alleged were "clearly a danger."
