the Southern District of New
York Magistrate Judge Jennifer
E. Willis. Inner City Press
was there, the only media in
the SDNY Mag court. Thread:
It's conspiracy
to commit honest services wire
fraud. Judge: I have before me
your plea agreement, which
says the sentencing guideline
is 12 to 18 months. Do you
understand? Davila: Yes.
Davila: I
did this for a prisoner I
later married to have conjugal
visits with. Judge:
Sentencing control date Dec 6.
On February 10
defense counsel docketed a
letter seeking $360 an hour
for Dr. Landau to conduct a
psychiatric exam, mentioning
the inmate with whom she had
commenced an intimate affair,
he being sentenced to 20
years. She is to be sentenced
on March 10.
On February 21,
the US Attorney's Office wrote
in asking for 12 months
imprisonment.
