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,
