Prosecutors are trying to keep a former Rutgers football player jailed while he awaits trial on charges he plotted to kill two people, a judge said Wednesday.

Izaia Bullock, 22, made his first appearance in court via a video feed from the Middlesex County Jail Wednesday, two days after he was arrested on two counts each of attempted murder and conspiring to commit murder.

Bullock, clad in a green jail jumpsuit and guarded by a sheriff's officer, listened quietly as Judge Gary Price explained he would remain behind bars pending the outcome of another hearing, scheduled for this Friday.
