San Jose, California (KGO) – Ken Velaskwiz, former UFC heavyweight champion, was sentenced to five years in prison for the attempt to kill on Monday, which includes the time he already served.
Velaskiz has already spent three years in prison, so it will serve the remainder of 1-2 years.
No contest last year was contest.
This stems from a three -year criminal case.
In February 2022, Velasquez was accused of shooting a man while chasing a high -speed car at Morgan Hill.
According to the authorities, a high -speed hunt was 11 miles.

The person who repeated him, Harry Golart, accused of harassment of 4 -year -old Velaskis harassed at the time during daytime sponsorship. Golret’s mother, who runs day care, was a step in the car while chasing. Golarti’s father was shot and wounded.
Our cameras were not allowed to register inside the courtroom on Monday, but the ABC7 South Bay correspondent Loren Martinez said he was completely crowded. The people on both sides of this condition were emotional and viable and provided the victim’s effect data.
In the end, read Cain Velasquez a statement of the judge. He said he is fully consistent with everything the judge sees appropriate. He called his reckless and dangerous actions. And it’s really sorry.
Harry Golrt’s mother spoke after the verdict, saying she was “very disappointing.”
Velaskiz’s lawyer, René Hysling, addressed the media immediately after the verdict was issued.
“I think the court made a good decision today,” hessling said. “One takes into account all the complexities of this case- the context about the reason for this.”
For the first time, the victims and Golarti and Bender spoke.
“The sentence is very disappointing. It is based on an alleged claim that has no rules. It is unfounded. We look forward to Harry’s case to prove this,” Bandar said.
The judge appears to be fighting through his tears during the last moments of the ruling. He said that this issue is unique, and contrary to any other issue it heads. With no former criminal record, Velaskiz felt full responsibility for his actions.
“When he said he was sorry and he was accountable because this is exactly who is. It is not usual in the line of my work that the defendants take care of this accountability in the way he did,” Hesseling said.
Velasquez was held at the end of the court session.
He was sentenced to five years imprisonment over time already.
In everything he is expected to spend another year in prison.
The provincial prosecutor’s office was asking for 30 years.
Angela Bernhard, Assistant Prosecutor at the Office of the Santa Clara province’s lawyer, spoke after the verdict.
“He will have additional time to serve and I think this is a lesson for anyone thinking about doing something like this that you cannot take the laws in your hands,” said Bernhard.
An experiment in the Harassment case was identified in Velasks in June.
“Mr. Velaskwiz is a good person. He has made a bad choice, but we all understand the parents why this choice was taken,” said Hysling.
