FORT MYERS, Fla. (WINK) \u2014 Rolbert Joachin<\/a>, the Haitian man accused of two murders in Fort Myers, will be held without bond following his Monday court appearance.<\/p>\n

At 1:30 p.m. on Monday, Joachin appeared in court in continuation of last Thursday’s pretrial detention hearing<\/p>\n

The State Attorney’s Office filed second-degree murder charges last week in the death of 28-year-old Julia Curvo<\/a>, who they said Joachin killed by strangulation.<\/p>\n

The Florida Public Defender’s Office filed a certification of conflict in the case, saying it cannot ethically represent Joachin. The office asked the court to appoint regional counsel instead.<\/p>\n

On Friday, his lawyer, Lee Hollander, filed a written plea of not guilty for the second-degree murder of Curvo.\u00a0<\/p>\n

WINK News spoke with Hollander, who said the next step in this trial is to await any evidence the State of Florida has collected against his client.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Regional counsel also cited a conflict of interest. The judge had to call several attorneys before finding someone who could represent Joachin<\/a> in both of his cases.<\/p>\n

Joachin also has a capital case brought by the state for the murder of Nilufa Easmin<\/a>, for which he stands accused of killing with a mallet in a Fort Myers convenience store parking lot. Defense attorney Lee Hollander will now represent Joachin in both cases.<\/p>\n
