QUINCY, Ill. (AP) — A judge has denied lower bond for a former Illinois prosecutor facing a second murder trial in his wife’s 2006 Valentine’s Day death.

Curtis Lovelace’s bond remains at $5 million in advance of a July retrial. However, according to The (Quincy) Herald-Whig Judge Bob Hardwick set a backup Oct. 24 date during a Friday court hearing.

A February murder trial for the former assistant Adams County state’s attorney and University of Illinois football captain lasted two weeks and ended in a mistrial after jurors deadlocked.

Lovelace was arrested in 2014 after Quincy police took a fresh look at a case in which the cause of first wife Cory Lovelace’s death was initially ruled as inconclusive.

The 47-year-old man’s next court hearing is set for June 17.
