Denied! Darren Sharper will not be released from jail today AND a judge shot down his request for house arrest. This is a bad sign for Sharper. The next hearing is March 24th.
Hit the jump for details…
Via TMZ:
Sharper appeared in L.A. County Superior Court this morning … and asked the judge to be released from his cell since prosecutors in New Orleans have still not made up their minds about charging Sharper with sexual assault.
FYI — last week, the judge had said that if N.O. didn’t charge, Sharper would be released on bail.
But that was before Arizona stepped in with its own charges … and today in court, the judge said that since Darren was formally charged in AZ, she could NOT release him because the sexual assault charges in Arizona are “non-bondable.”
Sharper’s attorneys told the judge that they have an agreement with AZ prosecutors that Sharper will be allowed to turn himself in … instead of being forcibly extradited … but the judge didn’t budge and ordered Darren to stay behind bars until the next hearing.
