Cain Velasquez Pleads No Contest in Attempted Murder Case

Aug 16, 2024, 06:03 PM

Former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez has pleaded no contest in court after being charged with attempted murder. The charges stem from an incident where Velasquez was accused of shooting at a man who allegedly molested his child. The plea eliminates the possibility of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. Sentencing will be scheduled at a later date, with the judge having the discretion to impose anything from probation to a lengthy prison sentence. The plea agreement suggests a potential sentence of 5-6 years, with the possibility of release after 2 years.
