Carlos will enter a not guilty plea when he faces the judge today and says his client insists he's innocent.&amp;#160;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hernandez has already been charged with murder -- as well as another alleged associate, Ernest Wallace. Both men have also pled not guilty.&amp;#160;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's unclear what new evidence prosecutors have gathered to up the charge against Ortiz -- but it's possible we'll hear about it during the hearing, which is currently set for 11 AM PT."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
