Convicted murderer Robert Baltovich was in a Toronto court Wednesday making an application for bail, pending an appeal.

Baltovich was convicted in March 1992, for the 1990 murder of his 22-year-old girlfriend Elizabeth Bain.

Published reports say Baltovich's lawyer, James Lockyer, has evidence that suggests that notorious convicted killer Paul Bernardo may have killed Bain.

"There is a reasonable possibility that an innocent man has been convicted of a crime he did not commit," he said.

Lockyer added, "this was a case dependent entirely on circumstantial evidence. There was no forensic evidence to link Baltovich to the disappearance of Elizabeth Bain."

Judge Marc Rosenberg has imposed a publication ban on court proceedings during an appeal.

The publication ban, however, is being challenged in court Thursday.
