IMF Chief Strauss-Kahn Seeks Court Review of Bail Denial

International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn is asking a second New York judge to release him on bail after being jailed on charges he sexually assaulted and attempted to rape a hotel maid in Manhattan.
Strauss-Kahn has been held in New York's Rikers Island jail complex since he was ordered held in custody at his arraignment May 16 before Judge Melissa Jackson. In a filing today in state court, Strauss-Kahn said he didn't intend to leave the U.S. without court permission and waived his extradition rights.
"In the event I fail to voluntarily appear in the New York court for any such proceedings, I waive the issuance and service of the warrant provided by law for my extradition from the Republic of France or any other jurisdiction," Strauss-Kahn said in an affidavit filed in court.
A bail hearing is scheduled for tomorrow and may be heard by State Supreme Court Justice Michael Obus.
Strauss-Kahn's proposal includes a requirement that he be confined to home detention 24 hours a day in Manhattan with electronic monitoring, in addition to posting $1 million in cash for bail, according to court filings. He previously surrendered his French passport to the District Attorney's Office. His so- called laissez-passer travel document issued by the United Nations will be given to his lawyers, who will turn it over to prosecutors, according to the filing.
In denying bail, Jackson agreed with prosecutors that Strauss-Kahn was a flight risk.
"Every Incentive'
Assistant District Attorney John "Artie" McConnell told Jackson on May 16 that Strauss-Kahn had every incentive to flee. If convicted of the most serious charges against him, he could be sentenced to as long as 25 years in prison, McConnell said.
McConnell also said France doesn't extradite its nationals and that Strauss-Kahn has "substantial" resources and "an extensive network of contacts throughout the world."
Erin Duggan, chief spokeswoman for Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr., declined comment on tomorrow's bail hearing.
"Mr. Strauss-Kahn's history and background weigh strongly in favor of an order of release on bail," his lawyers said in court papers. "Mr. Strauss-Kahn is a loving husband and father and a highly regarded international diplomat, lawyer, politician, economist and professor with no prior criminal record."
Washington Resident
He has been married for more than 10 years to Anne Sinclair, who was born in New York, according to court filings. She completed part of her secondary schooling in the U.S.
The couple has lived in Washington since November 2007, when he was named managing director of the IMF, according to the filing. A copy of a deed in Sinclair's name to a Georgetown home bought for $4 million that month was included in today's filing.
At the May 16 bail hearing, Benjamin Brafman, Strauss- Kahn's lawyer, asked Jackson to let his client stay with his daughter, who lives in Manhattan.
Camille Strauss-Kahn is a graduate student at Columbia University and lives permanently on the Upper West side of Manhattan, according to today's filing.
