Former WWE Superstar and UFC Champion Cain Velasquez has been granted bail after being charged with attempted murder earlier this year. Back in February, Velasquez shot into a vehicle that allegedly contained the man who had molested Velasquez’s young children.
The alleged child offender’s stepfather was also in the truck, and was struck during Velasquez’s assault. Velasquez pled “Not Guilty” back in August.
In November, Velasquez was granted bail following a pre-trial hearing. The terms of Velasquez’s bail include $1 million, GPS monitoring, and being compliant with not using weapons.
He’ll also be tasked with attending CTE/TBI outpatient treatment and counseling. Velasquez is also required to follow a protective order of staying at least 300 yards away from his alleged victims. According to a report from MMA Junkie, Judge Arthur Bocanegra had the following to say:
“This incident is extremely serious but appears to be isolated behavior by Mr. Velasquez. There is also a viable heat of passion defense. Mr. Velasquez, I would not release you if I was not convinced that upon a release at this time, eight months later, that you would be a danger to Harry Goularte primarily, Patricia Goularte or Paul Bender.
If you are as devoted a husband and father, I’m confident and have to believe you will not jeopardize anything that would take you away from your son, your daughter, your family. I hope you don’t prove me wrong.”
