Simon has a “complete mental health network” in New Hampshire and an apartment, said Dantas, who asked for home confinement, including an electronic monitoring device.
Simon has a record of driving away from New Hampshire authorities, prosecutors said.
Simon is now accused of multiple charges, including two counts of manslaughter, armed robbery, assault and leaving the scene of an accident.
He appeared in court Thursday to be arraigned on several additional charges, including negligent operation of a motor vehicle and failing to stop for a police officer.
In New Hampshire, Simon has served time in both the state corrections department secure psychiatric unit and in the state prison on charges including reckless conduct and assault.
