Smiley Martin, 27, was released from prison in February after serving less than half of a 10-year sentence for punching and whipping his girlfriend with a belt while she was hiding in her closet, despite pleas from the Sacramento County District Attorney's Office that he 'should not be released as he poses a significant, unreasonable risk of safety to the community.'

County District Attorney's Office that he"should not be released as he poses a significant, unreasonable risk of safety to the community."

"The best predictor of future behavior is past conduct, and violent people, they're going to be violent when they get out, and that's what we've seen here," Jones said. Martin has a lengthy criminal history that stretches back before the 2017 arrest and subsequent conviction for assaulting his girlfriend. He was arrested in January 2013 for being in possession of an assault rifle and two fully loaded 25-round magazines that he tried to discard when police made contact with him. A judge sentenced him to probation and county jail in that case.

"Martin has demonstrated repeatedly that he cannot follow the laws, or conditions the court places on him," Sacramento County Deputy District Attorney Danielle Abildgaard wrote in a letter opposing his release last year."His history indicates that he will pursue his own personal agenda regardless of the consequences and regulatory restraints placed upon him.
