BROWARD COUNTY, Fla. -- Lionel Tate, known best for his conviction in a so-called "wrestling death," struck out Thursday with two requests he made to a judge in regards to a probation hearing coming up next week.

Tate is being held while awaiting trial for allegedly robbing a pizza deliveryman at gunpoint -- a violation of the requirements of Tate's probation. In a letter to Judge Joel Lazarus, Tate asked for a change of venue and a gag order.

Lazarus denied the requests, saying that they don't apply in this case. The court is not picking a jury for the violation of probation hearing. He also said that a judge cannot by law place a gag order on the media or prohibit the media from reporting the story.

The probation hearing is set for 9 a.m. Monday. The state plans to call numerous witnesses.

If found guilty of violating his probation, Tate would be facing a prison sentence of up to life behind bars.

Prosecutors say that Tate held up a pizza deliveryman at gunpoint on May 23.

Tate is on probation as part of a plea agreement after an appeals court overturned his initial conviction and life sentence in the 1999 killing of family friend Tiffany Eunick, 6.

Tate, who was 12 when the girl was killed, was the youngest person to be sentenced to life in prison in modern American history. Tate first claimed that he accidentally killed Tiffany while imitating wrestlers he had seen on television.
