 REDWOOD CITY, Calif. (AP) — A California woman accused of killing the father of her two children is expected to be released from jail Thursday after posting an unprecedented $35 million bail raised by wealthy friends, family and business associates with ties to China. 
 
 Tiffany Li, 31, is backed by a consortium of people tied to her mother who have raised $4 million cash and pledged $62 million in San Francisco Bay Area property. California courts require twice the bail amount if property is used instead of cash. 
 
 Li's attorney Geoff Carr says Li and her mother were born in China, where the mother was financially successful in the construction industry. Carr says Li and her mother are naturalized U.S. citizens. 
 
 Carr said all defendants except those accused of death penalty-eligible crimes are entitled to "reasonable bail." 
 
 The $35 million bail is the highest ever in San Mateo County's history, a county official said. 
 
 San Mateo District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said he's concerned Li is a flight risk and is disappointed the judge didn't set the bail even higher. His office asked for a $100 million bail. 
 
 "If convicted she faces the rest of her life in prison," Wagstaffe said. "That's plenty enough incentive to flee back to her native China." 
 
 Carr said he expects Tiffany Li to be freed Thursday pending her murder trial in September. Li will be required to turn over her passports, wear an electronic monitor and remain under house arrest. 
 
 Li has pleaded not guilty to charges she directed her boyfriend and another man to kill Keith Green, 27, and dispose of his body last year. Prosecutors say she feared losing custody of her young children to Green. 
 
 Green's body was found May 11 in Sonoma County, about 80 miles (128 kilometers) north of where he was supposed to meet Li. 
 
 Li was arrested several days later in the multimillion-dollar home she shared with her children in Hillsborough, a suburb of mansions and large houses 20 miles (32 kilometers) south of San Francisco. The two men were also arrested in May and remained jailed without bail. Carr says their lawyers didn't ask for bail because they don't have the resources to post a multimillion-dollar bail bond like Li did. 
 
 Carr says the people who posted Li's bail believe she is innocent and will not flee. If she does go on the lam, the court can confiscate the property and cash.

 This story has been corrected to reflect the correct value of property pledged. ||||| HILLSBOROUGH (KPIX 5) — Murder suspect Tiffany Li is expected to post San Mateo County’s highest bail ever, at $62 million in property and $4 million in cash, to get out of custody. It is said to be one of the largest in U.S. history. 
 
 San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said, “From the beginning of the case the investigation by the sheriff’s office has provided to us that she comes from a family that has many, many hundreds of millions of dollars available to them.” 
 
 The 31-year-old is charged with murder – and accused of conspiring with her boyfriend – Kaveh Bayat and friend – Oliver Adella to kill her ex-boyfriend Keith Green last year. He’s the father of their two children. 
 
 “We certainly know that there was a great deal of animus between her and Keith Green our victim, over the children,” Wagstaffe said. “And we believe that was one of the pieces at the core of what led to the end of the life of Keith Green.” 
 
 Li who was living in Hillsborough, one of the wealthiest cities in the country, has already spent a year behind bars, held on $35 million bail. If properties are being used as collateral, state law requires the equity in the property to be twice the bail amount. 
 
 Tiffany Li’s attorney Geoff Carr said, “So the property was actually put up by 15 to 20 extended family, friends, business associates, people that believe in Tiffany and think that ,one she’ll come to court and two, she’s not guilty.” 
 
 Li’s attorney says his client is not a murderer. 
 
 Carr said, “She has no prior criminal history, she’s a graduate of USF, she has a master’s degree in finance, has never been in trouble about anything.” 
 
 Carr said she and Green had reached a custody settlement in court days before his death. 
 
 “The idea that our lady has money and might be able to flee – she’s no more likely to flee because she has money than anybody charged with a serious crime and the Constitution assumes that which is why the bail is $35 million,” Carr said. ||||| Update: Tiffany Li has posted bail. Details here. 
 
 REDWOOD CITY — A Hillsborough woman accused of murdering her ex-boyfriend could be released from custody Thursday by posting a staggering $35 million in bail, an unprecedented amount in San Mateo County, according to District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe. 
 
 The total value of bail for Tiffany Li, who is accused with two others of murdering her ex-boyfriend Keith Green, is $66 million. Li’s family is putting up $4 million in cash, and because the remainder is in the form of equity in property from family and friends, it must double the remaining $31 million, Wagstaffe said. 
 
 The San Mateo County Counsel reviewed all the properties and verified their values, Wagstaffe said. 
 
 “Somebody told me it’s one of the largest bails to be posted in the United States,” Wagstaffe said. “I have to imagine it’s one of the larger ones. Certainly for San Mateo County it’s without precedent.” 
 
 Li has been in custody since SWAT officers arrested her in May, 2016 in her Hillsborough mansion, where a fleet of luxury cars often sat in the driveway, including a Rolls-Royce, Land Rover, Mercedes and Ferrari. Prosecutors allege Li killed Green over fears she was going to lose a custody battle over their two young daughters. 
 
 Judge Donald Ayoob is expected on Thursday to approve a set of bail conditions agreed upon by prosecutors and Li’s defense attorneys. If that happens, Li will have to surrender to all passports to law enforcement, remain under house arrest and electronic home monitoring at all times, not be in possession of any passport for her children and remain at least 100 yards from any airport. 
 
 If Li fails to show for any of her court appearances, the court will forfeit the cash bail and the property will be subject to forfeiture by the county, Wagstaffe said. The cash and equity will be returned if Li makes all her court appearances. 
 
 Li and co-defendants Olivier Adella, 41, and Kaveh Bayat, 30, have all been charged with killing Green, whose body was found May 11, 2016 in a wooded area near Healdsburg in Sonoma County. Each faces a charge of felony murder, along with a special allegation that one of them was armed with a gun while carrying out the homicide. 
 
 Adella and Bayat remain in custody in no-bail status. The case for all three defendants is set for jury trial on Sept. 18. 
 
 Prosecutors contend the trio murdered Green on April 28, 2016, after Li and Green met for an hour in the parking lot of the Millbrae Pancake House to discuss a custody dispute involving their two young daughters. 
 
 Green was reported missing the following day, when he did not return home, the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office said. A hiker later found Green’s cellphone in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. Green was found dead from a gunshot wound on May 11, 2016. 
 
 Green was studying to become a chef at Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in San Francisco while working two jobs, “trying to make ends meet to get a place for them,” one of his friend’s previously told this newspaper. 
 
 Mitri Hanania, an attorney who briefly represented Green, previously told this newspaper the couple broke up in 2015 after he discovered Li had been having an affair with Bayat. Li accused Green of striking her and stealing a Landrover she had given him that was insured in his name, said Hanania. Green was exonerated by text messages between the two and the District Attorney’s Office ultimately rejected the case, the lawyer said.
– It appears a $35 million bail won't be enough to keep a murder suspect behind bars in California. Tiffany Li, a 31-year-old woman accused of killing her ex-boyfriend and the father of her two children last year, is expected to post one of the largest bails in US history Thursday, using $62 million in property and $4 million in cash, reports CBS San Francisco. In California, the value of property used as collateral must be twice the bail amount. Li, who has been in jail for about a year, comes from a wealthy family, says a San Mateo County district attorney. Her lawyer adds that the property was "put up by 15 to 20 extended family, friends, business associates," and others who believe Li is innocent. Prosecutors, however, say a custody battle over the couple's young daughters led Li to conspire with her boyfriend and friend to kill Keith Green last year. Authorities say Green was reported missing on April 29, 2016, a day after he met with Li to discuss the custody dispute in Millbrae, Calif., per the San Jose Mercury News. He was found dead of a gunshot wound two weeks later about 80 miles from Millbrae. Given prosecutors' fears that Li could "flee back to her native China," per the AP, she would be kept under house arrest and subject to electronic monitoring if the bail amount is approved by a judge. A jury trial in the case is set for September. (A judge set this man's bail at $4 billion to make a point.)
