Prosecutors say Patrick Dai, 21, made threats to bring a gun to the Cornell University campus and rape Jewish women and “behead any Jewish babies”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The engineering student appeared in court in an orange jump suit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Mr Dai’s mother was in the court in Syracuse, New York state, on Wednesday afternoon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
