Motion for New Trial for Eric McDavid to Be Heard on January 24th
Eric McDavid Looking Forward to Being Moved After February 21st Sentencing
Eric McDavid's case continues to progress. The hearing on the motion for a new trial has been changed to January 24th, and sentencing has been moved to February 21st. Each time a hearing date is changed, Eric will have to spend more time in Sacramento County Main Jail, where he faces many difficulties that will not present themselves in a federal facility. In addition, the appeals process cannot start until Eric has been sentenced. Eric is now receiving two veggie burgers a night, and has also been getting breakfast items he can eat (such as oatmeal), along with peanut butter sandwiches for lunch. While this is obviously nowhere near a "balanced" vegan diet, supporters say it is a huge improvement over his previous nutritional situation.
Sacramento Prisoner Support is encouraging supporters to write to Eric, and to also write to Judge England in care of Eric's attorney, encouraging him to give Eric the lowest possible sentence. The US Attorney is still indicating that they will be pushing for the maximum sentence of 20 years. Those who are writing letters are informing Judge England that the acts charged in the indictment are out of character for Eric.
