Bail Lowered for N.Y. Real Estate Heir Durst
From Times Wire Reports
An appeals court in Houston lowered the bail for New York real estate heir Robert Durst from $3 billion to $450,000, increasing the likelihood that the cross-dressing millionaire and former fugitive would be released.
Durst, 61, was found not guilty in November of intentionally killing his neighbor, 71-year-old Morris Black, in 2001.
He has remained jailed in Galveston on two charges of bond jumping and another charge of evidence tampering, however, because he fled the city shortly after his arrest.
