News Cain Velasquez arrested on a charge of attempted murder for shooting at his relatives molester

Wrong. Police will almost always go with the maximum charge then drop it down later. It's easier to do that than charge less and try to increase it later on.

yep, this exactly. Charge maximum and force the defendant to take a plea deal or risk going to court on original charge.

Cain had to act in self-defense as his opponent had the higher sea level.

Once the guy stuffed Cain’s first takedown attempt he knew it was gonna be a long night. To his credit, he kept trying whatever he could to go for the finish

for something like this, will have to stick with tmz for the newest information. they always get the goods.

 

[dildos]

So now it’s legit attempted murder??

jeez, not even manslaughter?

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

Should have opted for the Modelo. Poor choice

 

[Joshuaace]

Cain literally shot a guy. He's not escaping jail.
Pretty sure that happened in Cali too

Ever heard of O.J. SIMPSON. That was Cali also.

 

[Final Say]

Here we go with another round of shertards pretending they know something about the legal system when they don't know dick.

Calm it down, girls. Not enough info yet.

California?
I can guarantee you the shooter will be back in his own house before the victim will.

California is still the best place in the world, like it or not. Best weather in the world (San Diego), the best entertainment and concerts, and LA the most diversity in the world you can get women from anywhere

This is attempted murder, not assault..
Have you heard of tim lambesis from the band as I lay dying? He tried to have his wife killed, got attempted murder and served 7 years. Nobody actually was physically hurt, he has money, a clean record and his family has money
Cain literally shot a guy. He's not escaping jail.
Pretty sure that happened in Cali too

O.J. got off because the lead detective was a racist who likely planted evidence and the prosecutors were incompetent. Cali was tough on crime in the 90s.

Don’t forget his defense team was racist as well lol. I still can’t believe they got away with taking the jury on a tour of his house after they “updated” it to make OJ appear more “black”.

The irony in all of this was that OJ was more akin to Mark Fuhrman as he didn’t really like black people.

Why, Cali isn’t Texas. You can kill a cop in Texas and get bail

 

[Kyojiro Kagenuma]

He looks hard as fuck in that picture

Well he's a gigantic man who was once quite possibly the most dominant Heavyweight champ of all time.

 

[Kuggk]

Everyone should just wait until more details are released before you start taking sides...

 

[Absolut]

Is mocking his mugshot fighter bashing?

This is a good post and it proves that, regardless of what ppl are opining here (based on their faith in law enforcement), we can see that someone defending themselves and not trying to kill anyone can be charged and held on attempt murder charges. I'm hoping Cain's situation is similar in the sense of him not trying to kill anyone out of simple anger. I'm hoping it's self defense.
