Castiglia, who faces a possible death sentence, if convicted, calmly heard his attorneys Fred Pine, Miami, and Tom Watkins, of Key West argue unsuccessfully for a reduction of the charge to manslaughter and make a futile plea that bond be set for him. — tt Be mln yuled: that ;“there is reasonable pre- sumption of premeditation” in the killing and ordered the defendant held for Grand Jury action. Under the law, a first degree mur- der charge is not bondable, Castiglia had been held in the Monroe County Jail since January 8 when he pumped four bullets into a business associate, Bruno James Col- osimo, also known here as Jimmy Brown. Castiglia ad- mitted the killing, saying that “he had-to do it.” He pleaded “not guilty” yester- day, however.
