District Judge Susan Criss sets Durst's bail at two billion dollars -- with a "B". One Billion for each charge.

Durst made an audible gasp in Court when he heard the amount.

Defense attorneys threated to appeal to a higher court.

Upon hearing the pronouncement, Durst collapsed like a limp biscuit...

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

I've been out hunting in the woods for the past 2 weeks. What'd Durst do?

[Constitution Day]

Real Estate heir ROBERT Durst, not Fred Durst.


Sheesh.

[Hank Rearden]

What's a "Durst"? Sounds kinda greasy.

[Ford Fairlane]

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.

Way to go Susie! What a hoot!

She's a Democrat BTW.

[Wheee The People]

also Will Durst isn't very funny, but he is very liberal.

[Ford Fairlane]

sounds like the prosecutor really wants to keep him in jail one way or another

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?

[Lazamataz]

He did it all.

For the nookie.

[Lazamataz]

Oh, wrong Durst.

Damn.

[Diddle E. Squat]

Its all about the Wookie

[Lazamataz]

Give him a break! He did it all for the nookie, you know.

I hate you.

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.
