Quote from the article:
After a two-day hearing, Magistrate Judge Jeremiah J. McCarthy turned down a request from federal prosecutors to revoke bail for James Lathrop Jr. Prosecutors maintain that Lathrop, an indicted Chosen Few member, stalked and made threatening gestures toward David Ignasiak, 42, a government witness. Ignasiak testified that, on two occasions last month, Lathrop used his hand to imitate a gun shooting in Ignasiak’s direction. Ignasiak also claimed that Lathrop had stalked and harassed him on at least six other occasions. Ruling from the bench Feb. 25, Mc- Carthy refused to revoke Lathrop’s bail. After hearing testimony from both sides, the judge said he found Ignasiak’s testimony to be “not credible.” If and when the biker case goes to trial, the defense will question Ignasiak’s credibility, Robert N. Convissar, Lathrop’s attorney, told The Buffalo News last week. |
