During the brief morning proceeding, Chief Deputy Public Defender Oscar Bobrow represented Hobson, while Deputy District Attorney Eric Charm appeared for the District Attorney's Office. The trial date comes more than 11 months after the preliminary hearing and evidence presented during the hearing included a bloody tote bag linked to the victim and recommendations that the couple did not notify their children before leaving. These factors contributed to the determination that a crime was committed.
Judge John B. Ellis, presiding over the preliminary hearing, labeled the defendant a danger to the community and a flight risk, emphasizing the seriousness of the allegations against Hobson. Meanwhile, the defense pointed to Hobson's lack of a prior criminal record and his seemingly calm demeanor after the alleged incident. Nevertheless, Judge Zuniga denied the request for bail, underscoring the gravity of the charges.
