According to District Attorney Steve Wolfson, Davis will not face the death penalty but could be sentenced to life in prison if convicted. He is currently in custody and entered a "not guilty" plea last Thursday.

After losing a bid for former mob attorney Ross Goodman, two special public offenders were appointed to represent him. Those attorneys are Robert Arroyo and Charles Cano.

Goodman told Channel 13 last week that he and Davis couldn't meet the terms of the agreement, but he still supports Davis and "hopes to get back on the case later down the road."
