Ward's attorneys were expected to ask for an order of release with conditions Tuesday, but a judge said he will remain detained.

Ward was sentenced to 84 years in prison after his 2018 conviction for Pendleton's death.

The 15-year-old girl died in a 2013 shooting just blocks from then-President Barack Obama's South Side home.

The teen performed with her school's band just days earlier at Obama's second inauguration.

But last year, a judge overturned Ward's conviction, ruling that his confession was obtained improperly by police.

The Illinois Supreme Court dismissed an appeal in January.

Ward is next due in court May 5.
