Prosecutors used his prior robbery and kidnapping conviction to argue he’s a public danger, pushing for no bail. Defense attorneys countered by highlighting his severe medical and mental health issues, warning jail conditions could be unsafe. Despite objections over officer testimony that was hard to interpret, the judge sided with prosecutors and denied bail. Thomas remains in custody, scheduled for arraignment on October 8th β€” a case that pits community safety against urgent medical needs.
