Lil Durk Denied Bail Again in Murder-for-Hire Case

Lil Durk will remain behind bars pending an October trial on charges he orchestrated a murder-for-hire plot that resulted in a man's death.

In a new ruling issued Monday, U.S. District Judge Michael Fitzgerald declined to release the Grammy-winning rapper, born Durk Banks, on a new beefed-up bail proposal including $4.5 million cash and 24-hour home detention with electronic monitoring and private security. “The main problem here is that, based on information in the sealed Pretrial Service Reports, the proffered funds are only a fraction of defendant’s net worth,” Judge Fitzgerald wrote in his five-page order. When the the “All My Life” rapper appeared in a federal courtroom in downtown Los Angeles on June 2, he couldn’t stop smiling at the group of more than two dozen supporters, including his parents, in the audience.
