Swortzel's bail increased to $225,000, his attorney says motions not an issue because no one has offered to post his bail

At the last hearing, defensec request for alleged home invasion suspect Bret Swortzel was denied.

Today, the DA asked Judge Timothy Cissna for two motions, one was for source of bail and the other to increase bail.

Judge Cissna looked at the charges and with the strikes against him and prior convictions, his total bail is noe $225,000.

His attorney, Mr. Michael Acosta said source of bail was not an issue, and that his client had not attempted to make bail and no one had offered to post bail. Mr. Acosta tried to argue that the DA's motion was a little late in the game.

One of the victims, Deborah Morton was present in court with her attorney Ed Denson.

DDA Jackie Pizzo subbed in for DDA Stacey Eads, the prosecutor in this case.
