"This resolution is conditioned upon the court accepting the stipulations of the parties," defense attorney David Chesnoff said at the time of the hearing via the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

"In the event that the court does not accept the stipulations, Mr. Ruggs will be permitted to withdraw his guilty plea, proceed to trial and litigate all issues."
