Convicted killer Bishop's bail hearing again put off

A bail hearing scheduled for convicted killer Alfred "Freddie" Bishop this morning has been postponed for the second time.

The hearing will be rescheduled for one week from today, according to Michael J. Healey, spokesman for Attorney General Patrick Lynch.

After spending 33 years at the Adult Correctional Institutions, Bishop now faces a murder charge stemming from a June home invasion in Warwick.

Last week, Bishop's lawyer said he was not sure if Bishop would go forward with a bail request or waive his right to a hearing.

If he does elect a hearing, it is unclear whether District Court Judge Elaine T. Bucci would grant bail given Bishop's extensive criminal background.

He was on parole at the time he is accused of fatally shooting Gabriel Medeiros and wounding two others in the home.
