Federal Prosecutors Oppose Avenatti’s Bail Bid

SANTA ANA (CNS) – Federal prosecutors in Orange County have filed court papers objecting to a request that bail be set for convicted attorney Michael Avenatti, arguing there is nothing special about his situation in New York City, where a fellow jail inmate has been diagnosed with coronavirus.

Avenatti “offers no evidence that being inside of a Bureau of Prison facility is more dangerous — to him — than being outside one,” the prosecutors wrote. “But the danger to the community from such a release is immense, and the logic of defendant’s request is staggering.

The prosecutors dismissed Avenatti’s contention that he is more vulnerable than most inmates because he battled a case of pneumonia last fall. read more
