Woman accused of killing husband asks for bond

Attorneys for Danielle Redlick, the Winter Park woman accused of fatally stabbing her husband during an argument at their home in January, are asking a judge to let her post bond and be released from jail.

Redlick, 46, is charged with second-degree murder and tampering with evidence in the killing of 65-year-old Michael Redlick, a University of Central Florida faculty member found dead in their Temple Drive home on Jan. 12. Her lawyers are asking for bond to be set at $25,000 or any “reasonable” amount.

Covelli said Kayshla Torres’ passenger was the intended target for the shooting, but he was not hit. Instead, Kayshla Torres was struck once in the neck by the gunfire.

“We know there were witnesses at the shooting,” Covelli said Wednesday. “Someone in the community saw this. That’s what we need to bring closure.”

Covelli said he appreciates all the tips that have come in, but he needs a strong witness to explain exactly what happened.
