$750,000 Bail: House Arrest Possible for Duane Davis

$750,000 stands between Duane Davis and release from custody. On January 9, 2024, Judge Carli Kierny in Las Vegas set bail for him: if he posts the sum, he may remain under house arrest with electronic monitoring until trial.

Defense Points to Cancer, Prosecution Warns of Danger to Witnesses

His court-appointed defense attorneys had requested no more than $100,000. Davis, at 60 years old, was in poor health, had battled cancer that is in remission, and would not flee. The prosecution countered: he posed a danger to witnesses.

Bail Set, Raising the Money Becomes a Point of Contention

Defense attorney Robert Arroyo said after the hearing that they believed Davis could raise the bail. Until then, he remained in jail. The trial was scheduled for June 2024. Whether and how Davis would raise the money became a point of contention in the following months, see the report from June 26, 2024.

Davis is presumed innocent as long as there is no verdict. More on the page The Investigation.
