""He has no recent criminal record," said Knox to the District Attorney's team and the presiding judge. "This man is not a danger to the public.""
"Both the District Attorney's team and the presiding judge said they had no objection to Spingola's release, and ordered him to return to the courtroom on May 6."
James Spingola, a nonprofit director, was charged with four felonies related to aiding Sheryl Davis, who faces 17 felonies for misappropriating public funds. Spingola's nonprofit received over $1 million during Davis' tenure. His lawyer argued for his release without bond, citing no recent criminal record. The court agreed to release him, and supporters cheered in the courtroom. Spingola is required to return to court next month, while Davis was released on a $50,000 bond.
