And call the people versus Nicholas Jordan
24 cr
753.
And who's appearing with Mr Jordan?
Good afternoon, Judge uh Nick Rogers from the public defender's office. 50337.
Thank you, Mister
Rogers,
sir. What is your name for the record?
See
you,
Mr
Jordan.
All right.
And Mister Rogers, are you waiving any further reading
or advisement of the rights charges and penalties?
Yes, your honor at this time.
All right. And so I will just
remind Mr Jordan that there is a mandatory protection order in place pursuant to 18,
1 1001.
Mr Jordan. You cannot harass and l
intimidate, retaliate against or tamper with any witness to or victim
of the acts you are charged with
committing
as to the issue of bond.
Mr Willet. Did you want to make a bond argument?
I
did. It
looks like the reviewing judge set the bond at $1 million.
The people are going to ask that the bond be increased to $5 million.
The charges are very serious. There are multiple victims.
The defendant has no real ties to the state.
He is originally from Michigan.
There are indications that he tried to flee the state afterwards.
And so on the basis of public safety,
I think he still poses a threat to some of the witnesses and,
and other folks at the U CCS campus
as well as the public in general and law enforcement.
He did have a firearm is my understanding in
the vehicle.
Uh So I think that he is a danger to the public and he
is a flight risk and in light of the severity of the charges,
I would ask that the court set bond at $5 million
correction,
Mr Rogers.
Yes, your honor. Um It's the defense's request to reserve bond argument
until we're in the division.
Um The defense is at a disadvantage at this
point not having any access to the PC affidavit,
which is something I would like to address with the court as well.
Uh For the bond purposes, just asking to reserve before we get into the division.
All right, bond will be reserved
for
division four
on February 23rd
at 830.
Again, that will be division four this court after reviewing the arrest warrant
and hearing the arguments from the district attorney.
We set bond in the amount of $5 million
Mr Jordan. I will also order
that upon any posting a bond. You
go ahead and uh give up your passport if you have one.
Is there anything else Mr Willett?
No, if I didn't specify with us that would be a $5 million cash bond.
All right, $5 million cash bond only
that will be readdressed at the next court date.
Mr Rogers. Anything else?
Uh, yes, just a couple of matters. Um,
just what I wanna make clear that having a formal entry of appearance today.
Uh, we're having about five motions slash notices filed here shortly.
We're doing the physical court run as Mr Willett and the court knows our office
is kind of in a jam right now with uh what's happened in the state.
Uh But we do have those physically coming over today.
So I just want to put the D A on notice of that in the core.
Um
And then, uh I also want to inquire about the PC affidavit. Currently, it is sealed.
I asked that the court release that
uh
just to my office at this time.
All right, the court and the
District Attorney's office
is on notice of
the representation by the office of the Public Defender for Mr Jordan.
Mr Willet.
Any objection to releasing the probable cause affidavit you are,
we have no objection on seeing at this point and we do acknowledge
the public defender's office.
I just asked that the court up
into ISIS so I can
see what they are
and we'll certainly have responses
filed to those as soon as we can.
I think you should have access to that already.
And so,
um
next court date, February 23rd at 830 division four.
And is there anything else we can do from the people?
Have anything else at this time? Your honor?
And just
to Mr Rogers,
sorry, I keep cutting you off judge. Um
Just wanted to make clear in regards to the PC affidavit just
released to the parties as opposed to release to the public.
I wasn't sure if I made that clear, but as the defense is request,
no,
I don't think we have any objection or any
reason to keep the affidavit sealed at this point.
So,
uh I guess I would defer to the court but
we're not objecting to the release of the affidavit.
All right.
Well, I'm gonna let Division four
deal with any unsealing,
but I'll make sure that Mr Willett has a copy of the arrest warrant,
Mr Rogers so that you can get a copy of that.
Great.
Um And then finally,
I just wanna confirm Mr Will is Mr Willet going to be the D A handling this case?
Yes, sir, Mister Rogers. I will hold
with uh someone else from my office. Ok.
Thank you.
No, nothing further judge.
All right. Thank you.
