A judge on Tuesday dismissed the prosecution's request to remand Uriah following the filing of an indictment, ruling he did not find the defendant dangerous or likely to obstruct proceedings. A further hearing will be set in several weeks; Uriah continues working as usual.
The court ruling comes after the prosecution requested Uriah's continued detention post-indictment — a move Judge Massarwa had previously rebuked as poorly timed. As The Zioneer reported earlier, the judge criticized the timing of the request, noting that the conclusion of the investigation should logically weigh against remand rather than for it. Today's ruling follows that line: the judge found no evidence of dangerousness or risk of obstruction. A follow-up hearing is expected in several weeks.
