Summary
This document is page 8 of a court order regarding the pretrial release of a defendant named Mr. Robertson. The court discusses the factors under 18 U.S.C. § 3142(g), noting the serious nature of the charges, which involve Robertson allegedly shooting a victim (D.S.) in retaliation for cooperating with the government. While the evidence is described as 'mixed' due to conflicting factors regarding identification, the court notes incriminating statements made to a witness (N.F.). The document appears to be part of a DOJ FOIA release (DOJ-OGR-00001298).

Case 1:17-cr-00249-MHN Document 302 Filed 06/02/22 Page 8 of 16
Doc. 284 at 2-3. Mr. Robertson has met his burden of production and has rebutted the presumption
in § 3142(e)(3)(B) that no condition or combination of conditions could meet the requirements for
his release.
in § 3142(e)(3)(B) that no condition or combination of conditions could meet the requirements for
his release.
Section 3142(g) then lays out the following factors for courts to consider: (1) the nature
and circumstances of the offense charged, including whether the offense is a crime of violence, a
violation of § 1591, a Federal crime of terrorism, or involves a minor victim or a controlled
substance, firearm, explosive, or destructive device; (2) the weight of the evidence against the
defendant; (3) the history and characteristics of the defendant; and (4) the nature and seriousness
of the danger to any person or community that would be posed by the defendant's release. 18
U.S.C. § 3142(g).

U.S.C. § 3142(g).
The Court finds that although some of these factors weigh against Mr. Robertson's release,
they do not foreclose relief under the strict conditions the Court has imposed. With regard to the
nature and circumstances of the offenses charged, they are extremely serious and involve Mr.
Robertson allegedly shooting a victim, D.S., in retaliation for his cooperation with the government
in an earlier criminal case. As the Court stated at the November 4, 2021 pretrial conference, it
takes Mr. Robertson's charges extremely seriously because the ability of witnesses to come
forward and safely provide information to the government, and to the Court, is at the core of our
criminal justice system.

With regard to the weight of the evidence against Mr. Robertson, it is mixed. On the one
hand, D.S. positively identified Mr. Robertson as the person who shot him and at least one other
witness, N.F., has testified that Mr. Robertson made incriminating statements in the weeks prior
to the shooting. On the other hand, it appears that there were many people present at the time and
place of the shooting and there is evidence that D.S.'s identification of Mr. Robertson could have
