Latest: Actor Shelley Malil has had his bail for an attempted murder charge reduced from $10 million (GBP5.4 million) to $3 million (GBP1.62 million).
The 40-year-old Virgin star stands accused of stabbing his ex-girlfriend Kendra Beebe more than 20 times at her home in San Diego, California last month.
Lawyers for Beebe, who sustained serious injuries, including life-threatening stab wounds to the lungs and throat, claim their client almost bled to death after the vicious attack.
Malil, who has pleaded not guilty to the charge, was initially held behind bars on $2 million (GBP1.08 million) bail, but that was subsequently increased to $10 million.
However, a California judge brought the figure down to $3 million during a hearing on Friday.
Malil is next due in court on 3 October for a status hearing.
He is also facing one count of personal use of a knife and inflicting great bodily injury, reports website nbcsandiego.com. The actor could be sentenced to life imprisonment if he is convicted of all charges.
