Thomas Walsh, who had been arrested after trying to sneak into a Nassau County jail during non-visiting hours, pleaded not guilty to obstructing governmental administration, resisting arrest and criminal trespass charges. Walsh had been trying to see his brother William, who is being held for the murder of William's wife. The Post reasons he "could get all the visiting time [with his brother] he wants" now--Thomas Walsh was held on $6,000 bail and Newsday says no one posted it as of Tuesday evening. His lawyer said, "I'm quite sure that he's going through a lot of emotional turmoil. I think anybody would."
