Judge Massarwa criticized the prosecution in court Tuesday for requesting the continued detention of Uriah after an indictment was filed, saying that the timing — after the investigation concluded and charges were submitted — should logically work in the opposite direction. The remarks came during a hearing on the new indictment.
During a hearing on the new indictment against far-right activist Uriah, Judge Massarwa sharply rebuked the prosecution for requesting continued remand. The judge pointed out that the prosecution had originally agreed to Uriah's release on March 15, and that the logic of requesting detention after the investigation was completed and an indictment filed was 'strange' — as it should ordinarily work in the opposite direction. The exchange underscores a fraught hearing as the prosecution and defense clash over the terms of Uriah's custody ahead of trial.
