Music executive Ángel Del Villar is asking a judge to let him stay out of prison while he appeals his felony convictions for doing business with a concert promoter linked to Mexican drug cartels.

With a four-year prison sentence set to start on Dec. 1, attorneys for Del Villar argue that his appeal could very well overturn his March convictions – and that he should remain a free man until a higher court rules on his case.

“Del Villar has demonstrated since this case began that he is not a flight risk,” his lawyers wrote in a Wednesday court filing. “He poses no danger to the community. And he intends to present substantial questions on appeal that, if resolved in his favor, are likely to result in reversal or a new trial on all counts.”
