Cain Velasquez remains in jail after a third attempt to get bail by lead defense attorney Mark Geragos was denied.
This past Monday, Velasquez appeared in the Santa Clara County Hall of Justice in San Jose, Calif., for a hearing during which Judge Shelyna Brown denied a motion for bail once again, according to court documents obtained by MMA Junkie.
In order to challenge the court’s ruling to potentially overturn the previous bail denials, the defense needed to provide Judge Brown with a change of circumstance. Geragos argued that intent by Harry Goularte, Patricia Goularte and Paul Bender to not testify in a civil lawsuit should be seen as a change of circumstance in the criminal case against Velasquez, who is facing a 20 years-to-life sentence in prison for attempted murder.
