The bishop's detention period expires on September 6. The prosecutor has requested an extension of the period for another month, arguing that Bishop Michael, while at large, may commit a new crime. The defense attorneys noted that during the trial he could and did have the opportunity to speak to the media, but did not. Judge Armine Meliksetyan granted the prosecution's motion and extended the bishop's detention for another month. The next hearing is scheduled for September 15. Archbishop Michael faces a fine or up to 5 years in prison.
