Prosecution says judge should deny Mike Blakely's request for bond The judge will make a ruling based on both the prosecution and defense's motions.

The judge has not granted his bond yet, even though the defense filed a motion late Monday night trying to get one. Their motion says Blakely has no prior offenses and isn't a flight risk, so they are requesting the judge set a bond pending his sentencing.
