WAUKEGAN, Ill. (AP) ― A Lake County judge has denied bond for 21-year-old Daniel Baker of Deerfield, who is charged with the April 1 beating death of his girlfriend's mother.
Baker was returned to Illinois Friday from Montana, where he was arrested earlier in the week.
Baker is charged with first degree murder in the baseball bat death of 50-year-old Marina Aksman of Vernon Hills, who was allegedly trying to end Baker's relationship with her 20-year-old daughter.
The daughter was with Baker when he was arrested, but is not facing charges.
Defense attorney Ed Genson said Friday he believes he will be able to prove Baker is not legally responsible for his actions at the time of the killing. But Genson declined to comment when asked if he was considering an insanity defense.
