In a significant legal victory, California Criminal Defense
Attorney Ken Rosenfeld of The
Rosenfeld Law Firm (d.b.a., Rosenfeld & Sawyer) successfully
secured the release of Jesus
Cortes-Padilla, who had been detained without bail under the
designation of being a flight risk (Case # MCR081237). The Superior
Court of the State of California
for Madera County reversed its
initial "No Bail" order, allowing Mr. Cortes-Padilla to return home
on his own recognizance.
MADERA
COUNTY, Calif., July 19,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Mr. Cortes-Padilla was
arrested on June 4, 2024, facing
three felony charges. The following day, a motion was filed
requesting denial of bail based on the interpretation of two phone
calls between Mr. Cortes-Padilla and his wife, which
allegedly discussed selling assets and relocating
after his potential release. This interpretation, coupled with Mr.
Cortes-Padilla's status as a Mexican national, led the Court to
deny him bail.
I applaud the Court's decision to reverse
its ruling. It is gratifying to have ensured that the truth
prevailed today.
Attorney Ken Rosenfeld challenged
the initial decision, arguing that the telephone conversations were
either inaccurately translated or taken out of context. Rosenfeld
emphasized that Mr. Cortes-Padilla was aware of the investigation
before his arrest and did not attempt to flee. Additionally, he
highlighted that the family's standard of living was modest,
supported by his wife's income as a social media influencer.
Following Rosenfeld's advocacy, the Court agreed to re-examine
the circumstances and evidence that led to the "No Bail" order.
Upon review, the Court found the initial interpretation of the
telephone conversations to be inaccurate and taken out of context.
As a result, the "No Bail" order was reversed, and Mr.
Cortes-Padilla was released on his own recognizance.
"I applaud the Court's decision to reverse its ruling," said
Rosenfeld, who also specializes in federal criminal defense
(https://www.therosenfeldlawfirm.com/federal-criminal-defense/).
"It is gratifying to have ensured that the truth prevailed
today."
