A judicial hearing on the terms of Ken Mattson's bail got boisterous Wednesday in San Francisco when a U.S. District Court judge began talking about renewed jail time. The two sides were discussing the value of a house on La Salle Avenue in Piedmont owned by Mattson's wife, Stacy and whether there were alternative properties the Sonoma-based couple might offer as part of Ken Mattson's criminal bond agreement, when Magistrate Judge Alex G. Tse said, I could remand into custody.

Prosecutors initially secured an indictment in 2006 based on the suspect's DNA profile, according to court records. In Massachusetts, the statute of limitations for rape cases is generally 15 years. "The victim has been looking over her shoulder for 34 years" without knowing "who brutally raped her in her own home," Assistant District Attorney Jessica Strasnick reportedly told the court Monday.
