]"Judge Hodgson asked the defense attorney how much bail the defendant could make. The reply was, 'between $50,000 and $100,000.' Judge Hodgson then set the bail at $250,000," said Montgomery County District Attorney Bruce Castor.[/b]
When Castor learned Downey's attorney was working on trying to raise the bail, Castor started working on another motion to get the bail revoked.
Shortly after 4 p.m. Wednesday, Castor didn't hold back when he filed a motion to revoke Downey's bail. Castor called Downey a flight risk and a danger to the community. He called Downey a morally bankrupt, selfish and depraved man.
According to documents Castor filed, Downey allegedly threatened and shoved a group of juveniles into the pavement and includes pictures of a Navy SEAL tattoo on Downey's leg.
"We think that Downey is a danger to the community. We think that he is a flight risk. We think there is a substantial likelihood that he is going to be convicted and go to jail, so he might as well start today," Castor said.
"Downey has plenty of money he spends on escorts and drugs and has contacts throughout the world. He tells everybody who asks that he is either in the CIA or a retired Navy SEAL or somehow involved in the defense intelligence community. Who's to say that's not true? And, if so, then he would have all of the intelligence contacts he could exercise to disappear. Presumably, if he's a Navy SEAL, as he tells everyone, then he would have all the combat training that goes along with that and our witness would therefore be in danger. We plan to point out all of those things to the judge," Castor said.
The motion to revoke bail also cited a lack of remorse on Downey's part when he allegedly visited another strip club.
