Mahmood Bhatti, who was charged with killing his former girlfriend and her unborn child, has been in jail without bond since October.
Ashendorf said Bhatti could take off if he is allowed out of jail, but Bhatti’s attorney presented a different view.
Tony Scheer, Bhatti’s defense attorney, said the case is not as clear-cut as police and prosecutors are suggesting and that Bhatti is not the villain some might think.
