Convicted MTV star Vincent Margera is still being kept on suicide watch at the Jefferson County Jail, it has been revealed.
The TV personality is known as Don Vito in his nephew Bam Margera's MTV reality show Viva La Bam.
The 51-year-old was convicted on two counts of child sexual assault for groping a couple of young girls while appearing at the Colarado Mills skate park during a promotion last year.
After he was convicted, Margera collapsed in the courtroom on Wednesday and shouted that he could not spend the remainder of his life in prison, saying: "Just f**k - kill me now!"
He then yelled that his legs were broken and he could not move them, causing deputies to rush into the courtroom to put him on a wheelchair.
He will be sentenced on December 20 and is being held without bail.
