Bond for Edrick Lamont Faust has been denied for the second time in less than four months. Faust is charged with killing University of Georgia law school student Tara Baker 23 years ago. The crime remained unsolved until earlier this year when law enforcement reported it has identified Faust as the killer. During a hearing, Attorney Ahmad Crews acknowledged the charges but contended its been decades since charges for any violent crimes were filed against Faust and that his client could be placed under house arrest. But prosecutors opposed his release saying his record shows he was not a good candidate to follow the rules and would be a threat to the public. Judge Lott told lawyers that another status conference would be held on February 19th to continue discussions on potential pretrial motions and a possible trial date.
