Did the judge put his pinky to his mouth before delivering this message?

GALVESTON, Texas A judge ordered a hearing to determine whether real estate heir Robert Durst will be allowed to make bail on a bond-jumping charge.
Attorneys for Durst, who remains jailed after being acquitted last week on charges of murdering a neighbor, asked Judge Susan Criss on Thursday to consider setting "reasonable" bond. Criss set a hearing for Dec. 3.
Durst was ineligible for bond while awaiting the murder trial.
The bond-jumping charge which carries a possible prison term of two to 10 years and a fine of up to $10,000 stems from Durst's failure to appear at a 2001 arraignment a week after he was arrested in Morris Black's death. Durst had been released from custody after posting a $250,000 bond.
He was a fugitive for six weeks before being recaptured in Pennsylvania, and has been held since then.
The Galveston County criminal district attorney's office said no one was available Friday to comment.
Defense attorney Chip Lewis said his client is entitled to a chance at pretrial release.
"Bond cannot be used in a punitive fashion only to ensure an appearance in court," he said.

sounds like the prosecutor really wants to keep him in jail one way or another
To: Ford Fairlane
Yes, Robert Durst was found not guilty of murder, but he still has two counts against him for jumping bail. Now he has to post $200,000,000 (two hundred million) in order to satisfy the two billion dollar bail.
Do you think he can find a bail-bond company willing to go his bail????
Does anyone have a link?
To: i_dont_chat
He did it all.
For the nookie.

I never got why Chewy's blaster looked like a crossbow. The only thing that would happen with those extended metal thingies is that they'd get hung up on everything all the time. Not very ergonomic.
