Keshia Golden, who is eight months pregnant, is accused of fatally stabbing her boyfriend Calvin Sidney hours after her baby shower last month in Chicago.
Prosecutors claimed Golden and Sidney argued on Oct. 22 over who could use a microwave to reheat food, and that Sidney shoved Golden into a counter.
On Thursday, Assistant Public Defender Julie Koehler gave a different version of what happened that night. Judge Mary Marubio noted that Golden repeatedly claimed she had acted in self-defense. Despite that, the judge said, she believed Golden should have to post some amount of money to be released, given the seriousness of the charge.
Whether Golden can come up with the funds wasn’t immediately clear. Koehler said she would be seeking financial support from a community bond fund while Golden’s family also sought to raise money. Koehler said Golden’s case was an example for how state courts will benefit from the SAFE-T Act, a wide-ranging criminal justice bill that is set to eliminate cash bail in Illinois on Jan. 1.
