It seems that Cassidy is still in hot water, but has received good news regarding his court case. Originally Cassidy was being charged with first degree murder, but Judge Neifield claimed that the prosecutors only had sufficient evidence to charge Cassidy for third degree murder.

"Today, we were able to show at the preliminary hearing that the deceased and his friends were actually firing shots in the direction of Cassidy and the guys that he was with." Perri continued, "We established, through the ballistics evidence, that there were shots being fired both ways. So based on that, the judge concluded that there wasn't enough evidence for a first-degree murder case, but she held him on third-degree murder."

Neifield had declared bail at $2.5m, but ordered Cassidy to remain in prison during the appeal. Last Tuesday was Cassidy’s 60th consecutive day in prison. If Cassidy is convicted he will spend 20-40 years in prison, which is reduced from his life sentence that would have being the outcome for murder in the first degree.
