Mr. Smith, please make sure you talk to your lawyer about what this protective order means and how you can address it with your judge. >> Okay, your honor, I was wondering if you might consider a pre-release for >> uh let's see, Mr. Ross, what is the state's position on a request for a pre-trial supervised release? >> That's a hard no, your honor. uh haven't had an opportunity to uh bring the victim to weigh in on this and I direct the court to the declaration of probable cause. There's a significant safety risk and a no bail warrant is absolutely appropriate. >> Okay, Mr. Smith, I did have a chance to read through the charging document um before the hearing today. I read it when it was first filed and then I reminded myself of its contents this morning. There is substantial evidence to support the charge in this the charges in this case, Mr. Smith, and I do find by a clear and convincing standard that you would be a danger to the alleged victims if you were released today. Now, that's not a permanent decision, Mr. Smith. It's a temporary one, and it can be reviewed as soon as your next hearing in front of Judge Ruby Mills.
