WASHINGTON (WUSA9) — The man accused of setting his pregnant girlfriend on fire will continue to be held in jail without bond a judge ruled in court Tuesday morning.
Laquinn Phillips has been behind bars in Prince George's County since being arrested for trying to murder his on-again, off-again girlfriend Andrea Grinage last September.
According to WUSA9 Reporter Debra Alfarone, Grinage told the judge she would fear for her life if Phillips is let out on bond.
Phillips' lawyer said his client’s '"life has been turned upside down” after being arrested.
Ultimately, the judge denied bond at hearing and Phillips will remain in jail.
Grinage was burned on more than 70 percent of her body. Her daughter Journey survived. It's been a tough road to recovery.
