Hasson’s attorney, assistant federal public defender Liz Oyer, has said Hasson’s mother-in-law and father-in-law in Virginia are willing to have him stay with them under their supervision.

Oyer said conditions of Hasson’s release should include home detention with electronic location monitoring, as well as no access to firearms, a computer or other internet-capable devices.
