This does seem like an amended bond. The whole lot of these characters involved in poor baby King's murder make me ill.
 
Oops - double post - WS acting weird.... :rolleyes:
 
No plea deals will be offered in King Jay case without first checking with family, DA says


SAN ANTONIO — Bexar County District Attorney Joe Gonzales is quelling community concerns sparked after an attorney for Christoper Davila said this week that he was seeking a plea agreement.

Davila, who is charged in connection with the death of his then-girlfriend's son, King Jay Davila, earlier this year, appeared in court Tuesday. His attorney, Robert Behrens, told members of the media Davila was open to taking a plea deal.
[.....]
Ethics rules prevented Gonzales from elaborating on the specifics of the King Jay case. But he said, generally, it's far too early in the case to begin discussing plea agreements.
[.....]
“If we can resolve it in such a way, for example, if a serious felony is involved, and the accused is willing to accept some prison term, that may be a better resolution than rolling the dice and ending up with an acquittal and he walks out the front door," Gonzales said.

Gonzales said all plea deals must be approved by his administration before they're offered. If a defendant accepts the plea, a judge will ultimately have to approve the agreement.
 
House arrest conditions change for Baby King Jay suspect


SAN ANTONIO — Beatrice Sampayo, who is charged in connection with the death of baby King Davila, had her house arrest conditions changed this week.

According to court documents, she will now be able to travel between her home and Northeast Baptist Hospital for treatment of an ongoing medical condition.

Christopher Davila's trial expected to begin Tuesday


Inside the 227th Criminal District Court on Monday, the welcome was not warm by defendants Angie Torres and her grandmother, Beatrice Sampayo. Torres gave the media a profane gesture while Sampayo was wheeled away as she covered her face with a shawl.

It will be a bit longer before both learn their fate as their attorneys reset their trials while they wait on a key player, Christopher Davila.

"Christopher's case is set for tomorrow; we really won't know much until after tomorrow whether its going to trial or when it's going to trial," Karl Basile, the attorney for Angie Torres, told KENS 5 on Monday.
[.....]
All three were charged in this case but none are facing a murder charge... even though baby King Jay's death was ruled a homicide by blunt force trauma.

When we asked District Attorney Joe Gonzalez why that was the case, he previously sent us this statement saying:
"We have charged all the people where evidence supports a charge related to the death of baby King Jay Davila and concealing evidence of the crime..."

Defense attorneys in King Jay case reject 50-year plea deal

February 18, 2020
SAN ANTONIO – Christopher Davila is now one step closer to seeing his day in court. On Tuesday, defense attorneys denied a 50-year plea deal offered by prosecutors, saying the punishment is too stiff.
[.....]
“In an offense like injury to a child, he would have to serve one half of whatever sentence he might receive. So if he got 50 years, he would have to serve 25 years just to be eligible for parole. That doesn't mean he will get parole,” said Robert Behrens, a defense attorney.

Jury selection is the next step in Davila’s trial, which is expected to begin in early March.

How arrogant of him to refuse a plea, but I'm glad he did.

Here's hoping a jury will find him guilty and sentence him to LWOP if that is possible. I still don't understand how child murderers can receive such light sentences at times. :(
 
Bumping up for you again @MsMarple - maybe an update? Since his trial is supposed to start in March. TIA! :)
