A judge on Friday denied an appeal of the release of Barry Landau over prosecutors' arguments that the historian poses a flight risk and could destroy more documents the government has not yet found.
Landau and his assistant, 24-year-old Jason Savedoff, are charged with stealing valuable historical documents from the Maryland Historical Society and conspiring to steal documents from other archives. The men were arrested in the historical society's library in Baltimore last month.
Landau pleaded not guilty Thursday. Savedoff was released on bail last week and has yet to enter a plea.
