Amid ongoing trial, American singer Britney Spears’ ex-husband, Jason Alexander is bound to remain in jail until 12 July in lieu of $100,000 bail for attempting to crash her wedding.
Although Alexander pleaded not guilty of all charges during his preliminary hearing on Monday, the judge determined there was enough evidence to take the case to trial.
His public defender argued that the felony stalking count should be lessened to a misdemeanour due to insufficient evidence that Alexander intended to harm Spears. However, the judge disagreed, reports Page Six.

Spear’s security guard Richard Eubler told the court that Alexander tried to enter Spears’ bedroom on 9 June but it was locked from the inside. He allegedly confronted Alexander and they got into a struggle. He claimed it wasn’t the first time Alexander had entered his ex’s property.
Recall that Alexander live-streamed himself entering his ex-wife’s home in Thousand Oaks, California while she was preparing to tie the knot to Sam Asghari on 9 June. He was arrested and subsequently charged with one count of felony stalking and three misdemeanor counts of trespassing, vandalism, and battery.
Alexander was initially charged with stalking, but that complaint was later amended to felony stalking due to a prior domestic violence conviction unrelated to Spears. The prior conviction involved corporal injury to a domestic/dating partner – a charge leveled on Alexander in San Francisco in 2015.
