LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — A southern Indiana judge denied a request for her removal in the criminal case of a New Albany man tied to a murder for hire plot.

Henry Bachmann, who is charged with conspiracy to commit murder, is accused of plotting to kill the vice president of a motorcycle club.

His attorneys argued Floyd County Judge Carrie Stiller should be recused from the case, citing concerns over a search warrant tied to the motorcycle clubhouse in Louisville.

Bachman's attorneys said Stiller signed a warrant, which was executed in Kentucky, without the signature of a Kentucky judge. Judge Stiller denied the motion and said the case will proceed.

Bachmann is also charged with corrupt business influence, money laundering and theft. His trial is set for April 27.
