BATH, N.Y. - A man accused of double homicide in Bath was arraigned Monday morning in Steuben County Court.
Twenty-three year old Brian Ashline is accused of stabbing his son and child's mother to death. Today Ashline pleaded not guilty to all six felonies he's charged with.
Ashline is charged with two counts of murder in the first degree, two counts of murder in the second degree, aggravated criminal contempt and criminal possession of a weapon.
Authorities are accusing Ashline of stabbing his three month old son, Xavier Ashline and the boy's mother, 25-year-old Trieste Clayton on Father's day.
They said it happened at the victim's home at Moutview Road in Bath.
Ashline's attorney said he client is dealing with the incident as best as he can.
"He's facing very serious indictments. He's handling that well. As far as emotions, I don't know him personally" said Thomas Stahr, Ashline's attorney.
Steuben County District Attorney's office was not available for comment on Monday.
District Attorney John Tunney is out of the office for the week and has instructed that no one comment but him.
When the case goes to trial, Stahr said he's concerned about finding a fair jury.
"Judging on what's been on blogs and Facebook, I believe that its going to be extremely difficult to find a fair, impartial and unbiased jury." said Stahr.
Ashline is in Steuben County Jail without bail.
