Cain Velasquez plea hearing moved to May 6 at council’s request

SAN JOSE, Calif. – Former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez did not enter a plea on charges stemming from an alleged shooting. Instead, lawyer Mark Geragos requested that the plea hearing be pushed back, which was granted by Judge Jose S. Franco.

Velasquez’s appearance before Judge Franco lasted approximately three minutes Tuesday at the Santa Clara County Hall of Justice. Velasquez is scheduled to appear in court May 6 at 9 a.m. local time.

“As we indicated to the judge today, we’re going to file another motion asking that he be released,” Geragos said afterward. “We will do that between now and May 6.”
