The prime suspect in the murder of missing Maryland woman Robyn Gardner is due back in court for a hearing later this week, but Gary Giordano's defense lawyer exclusively revealed that the prosecution still has a tough challenge, if he is eventually charged.

"They won’t have a slam dunk, I can assure you," Aruban defense attorney Chris Lejuez told Breaking Celebrity News in an exclusive interview.

"I am not confident that he will never been charged, but I am confident that if he is that I will have a lot of things to say regarding this case," he said adamantly.

Giordano will appear in court for a closed door hearing on Friday where the prosecution will present their argument to keep him detained longer, but as Lejuez explained, "The judge doesn’t need any new hard evidence to keep him. The bar is not set any higher to detain him.

"It is the job of us, the defense, to prepare an argument to persuade the judge not to keep him."

As Breaking Celebrity News previously reported, Giordano added the high profile lawyer to his defense team earlier this month when Lejuez took over the reins from Michael Lopez.

Lejuez went on to reveal exclusively to Breaking Celebrity News that Giordano is in good spirits despite being held in an Aruban jail since August 5, three days after 35-year-old Gardner went missing. He stands by his story that she was swept away while the couple was snorkeling.
