A Philadelphia judge has again denied bail revocation for Joshua Macias and Antonio LaMotta, the two Virginia men who traveled to the city in early November, allegedly to interfere with the election.
Instead, Common Pleas Court Judge Crystal Bryant-Powell raised bail for both men during a hearing Friday.
Macias’ bail went up $100,000, to $850,000.
LaMotta’s bail went up $15,000, to $765,000.
The pair will remain in custody until they pay 10% of the difference.
“I disagree with any increase in bail, but I guess I’m happy that the judge didn’t revoke,” William J. Brennan, Macias’ attorney, said after the hearing.

Philadelphia prosecutors admitted Wednesday that balls were dropped after it came to light that the first suspect accused of killing Temple University graduate Milan Loncar while he was out walking his dog had been freed from jail just two weeks before the fatal attack.
A second person of interest has since been identified and taken into custody, Philadelphia Police Capt. Jason Smith said during a news conference held at police headquarters Wednesday, declining to release the male suspect s name, pending further investigation. I’m sure that many balls were dropped in this case, and that will be looked at, Joanne Pescatore, assistant chief of the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office’s homicide unit, said during the news conference.

On Friday, city prosecutors in Philadelphia will again ask a judge to revoke bail for Joshua Macias and Antonio LaMotta, two Virginia men who allegedly tried to interfere with the November election.
In separate motions filed in Municipal Court, Assistant District Attorney Andrew Wellbrock argued that both men should be jailed for violating their bail conditions while participating in the deadly siege of the U.S. Capitol. Media footage, he wrote, shows both men standing together inside one of the building’s security perimeters in an area where demonstrations are not permitted.
