    MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- A suspect in a high-profile stabbing death that frightened Madison residents has been ordered jailed on a $1 million bail.

    University of Wisconsin-Madison dropout Adam Peterson showed no emotion and said nothing during his initial appearance Tuesday in Dane County Circuit Court.

    Instead of the traditional jumpsuit, he wore a sleeveless one-piece black garment given to Dane County inmates considered at risk of committing suicide.

    Court Commissioner Todd Meurer accepted a prosecutor's recommendation to impose the $1 million cash bail on the 20-year-old Peterson. Peterson's Public Defender Dennis Burke did not challenge the motion.

    Meurer scheduled a status hearing for the case on July 9.
