Manuel "Manny" Ruiz was in court Thursday morning, and he will continue to be held without bail. Ruiz asked Judge Amy Chelini for a three-week extension in his trial to look into hiring his own lawyer.

Manuel Ruiz, accused of fatally shooting a married couple in front of the Bellagio fountains, may face the death penalty for his actions, which he claims were in self-defense, but prosecutors believe are motivated by a social media feud.
