Anthony Barker has been sitting in jail for nearly a year after investigators said he beat his wife to death. His defense attorney tried to get his bond reduced, claiming she died from an infection, despite the medical examiner ruling her death a homicide.
Anthony Barker, 60, who has a history of domestic violence, is accused of beating his wife, Phoebe Barker, to death. But during a bond reduction hearing, his Hillsborough public defender Elizabeth Beardsley said the medical examiner got it wrong.
But prosecutors fought back. They say Phoebe Barker suffered years of abuse at the hand of her husband.
