SANTA ANA (CNS) - An American Civil Liberties Union attorney accused Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer of “baseless scaremongering for publicly criticizing a defendant s motion to lower his bail in an Irvine kidnapping case days after an Orange County Superior Court judge ordered the jail population to be cut in half during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ezra Schley, 72, of Huntington Beach, has been in custody since Aug. 30, 2019, on $1 million bail. His attorney, David Swanson, unsuccessfully tried in March when the pandemic began to get his bail lowered and filed another motion on Monday following Superior Court Judge Peter J. Wilson s ruling Friday.
