... Her attorney, public defender Erik Teifke, argued at length in court over Affronti’s decision to increase bail, saying that Hardaway had never been convicted of any crimes, had never missed a court appearance in the past, was employed, and had a large extended family in Rochester, NY. Outside the courtroom, Teifke said he was surprised about the decision. “The law says bail is designed to make sure people come back to court. You’ve got a woman who is asked to come back to court, and no one can point to any reason that she won’t come back to court on Nov. 12,” said Teifke. “If you apply the law, she walks out the door. I cannot explain why the judge increased the bail.” uhurunews/story?resource_name=headline-pregnant-african-woman-that-was-beaten-by-police-is-imprisoned
