SDNY COURTHOUSE, July 8 – Joseph Davila is in prison on charges of violent kidnapping. On July 8 he asked for release, to U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge P. Kevin Castel. Inner City Press covered it.
Davila was produced late, and reference was made to fellow SDNY Judge Valerie E. Caproni raising it.
When the proceeding finally began, Davila's attorney Michael K. Bachrach cited a case in which SDNY White Plains Judge Cathy Seibel freed on bond a man charged with capital murder.
But AUSA Thomas Burnett noted that the case involved a defendant who had become paralyzed from the head down. He noted that Davila, when told that his kidnapping was being video recorded, joked about getting 45 days anger management.
Judge Castel, noting viciousness, denied the application for release.
The case is US v. Davila et al., 20-cr-292 (Castel)
