U.S. cargo pilots Kevin Kuranz, left, of Sheboygan, Wisconsin, and Christopher Schmidt, of Maryville, Tennessee, listen to Schmidt's mother Debbie during a judicial hearing in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, Thursday Dec. 16, 2010. The pilots were detained Dec. 2 in Santo Domingo after agents from the Caribbean nation's anti-narcotics agency found about 321 pounds (146 kilograms) of cocaine and 4 pounds of heroin (2 kilograms) hidden in floor and ceiling panels of their cargo plane. A Dominican prosecutor asked during the hearing for more time to prepare an argument for holding the pilots pending further investigation of the case. (AP Photo)
