Heading: Government's Burden to Show Probable Cause

Text: All five defendants here are charged with very serious offenses, some of which trigger the presumption in favor of detention. [4] Count two, attempt to use weapons of mass destruction, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2332a(a)(2), qualifies for the presumption under section 3142(e)(3)(C), and counts four and five, carrying, using, and possessing a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1), qualify under section 3142(e)(3)(B). [5] Thus, the indictment on counts two, four, and five satisfies the government's preliminary burden to show probable cause for all defendants and to establish the presumption of detention.
