ST. LOUIS - Mehrdad Fotoohighiam escaped an attempt to have him thrown back in jail for violations of the bond conditions that allowed him to go free Tuesday.
During a hearing in Special Judge Russell Ohmer s chambers Thursday, he decided not to rule immediately on a prosecutor s request to have Fotoohighiam s bond revoked. Fotoohighiam, who is charged with first-degree conspiracy to have a judge and another person killed, along with other crimes, was released on his own recognizance Monday after spending more than five years in jail.
His release was contingent upon strict conditions set by Ohmer. He was ordered to have no contact whatsoever with anyone other than his attorney and representatives of Adult Court Services.
