Recent public commentary regarding the Williams arraignment has created confusion about the respective roles of prosecutors and judges in criminal proceedings.

At the hearing in front of Judge Dixson, prosecutors requested supervised release with multiple public safety restrictions, including conditions designed to prevent Mr. Williams from being alone with minors. Those requests reflected serious concerns regarding the allegations and the potential risks presented in the case.

Under California law, misdemeanor defendants are frequently released pending trial, often with few or no conditions. In this case, prosecutors sought substantially greater restrictions than would ordinarily be imposed in a routine misdemeanor matter.

Judges ultimately determine the release conditions that govern a defendant while a case is pending. The final release order — including the classroom exception that has been the subject of recent public discussion — was crafted and entered by the court.

The Placer County Deputy District Attorneys Association continues to believe that Mr. Williams should not have been permitted to be alone with children absent the presence of a responsible adult while this case was pending.

The Placer County Prosecutors’ Association is proud to support Dave Bass for Placer County Judge 2026.

David Bass has dedicated his career to upholding the law, protecting victims, and ensuring fairness in our justice system. His experience, integrity, and commitment to public safety make him exceptionally qualified to serve on the bench.

He has earned the trust and respect of those who work most closely within the justice system — including strong support from law enforcement and our District Attorney. That support speaks volumes about his professionalism, judgment, and ability to handle the responsibilities of a judge with fairness and balance.

Our community deserves a judge who understands the real-world impact of crime, values accountability, and treats every case with the seriousness it deserves. David Bass embodies those qualities.
We are confident he will serve Placer County with integrity, fairness, and dedication.

Every year our prosecutors volunteer with the Placer County Sheriff's Office's RIGHT CHOICE program. This amazing program is designed to educate our youth about the danger of using drugs. During each class visit, one student makes the 'wrong choice' and uses drugs. The class then follows that classmate through the justice program, counseling, a relapse and a mock funeral. We hope these programs have a long lasting impact on their RIGHT CHOICE in the future.
