Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

My boyfriend was arrested on an assault charge against another man, he contributed to a altercation that his friend had with the man and they both fought with the man, who is no longer around, he disappeared and now my boyfriend/and friend is in jail. At my boyfriend's own will, he confessed it was him on a video tape that was retrieved of the incident, but wasn't a good copy. he has no record and has a great career. Today was his court hearing for a bail reduction but was denied, what will happen next and how much time will he serve?

Thank you

Hopefully what will happen next is that your boyfriend will get a lawyer. Had he gotten one in the first place, he would have known not to confess to a crime that the prosecutor likely would have otherwise a hard time proving. Now he has more serious problems to deal with.
