Cain Velasquez pre-trial hearing: Live updates

The long-awaited pre-trial hearing of former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez is underway.

Velasquez has been imprisoned for nearly eight months as he faces a handful of charges, including attempted murder, for allegedly shooting at a car carrying Harry Goularte, a man accused of molesting Velasquez’s 4-year-old son, and striking Goularte’s stepfather in the arm with a bullet.

Meanwhile, Goularte awaits a pre-trial hearing of his own scheduled for Nov. 14. He is out on bail, facing one felony charge of lewd acts with a child.

Additionally, a civil lawsuit filed by Velasquez’s family against Goularte, as well as Goularte’s family members and their businesses, is set to resume in March.
