Brent Wilkes' Bond To Remain $1.3M, Judge Says.

But in March, a federal appeals court ordered Burns to allow Wilkes to post bond.

The judge has said he would accept real estate and other assets worth $1.3 million as security for a $2 million bond, but Wilkes has been unable to raise that amount of collateral.
There have been numerous court hearings on the issue, and on Monday, Burns denied Wilkes' request to reduce the amount to about $500,000.

Wilke's attorney, Robert Rexrode, indicated that Wilkes would remain in custody for the foreseeable future, because he and his family cannot post the $1.3 million required by the court.

Burns has repeatedly said that he has grave doubts that Wilkes would abide by the conditions of his release if he is allowed free on bond.

Burns said he has those concerns because he believes that Wilkes lied under oath when he testified on his own behalf during the trial and submitted misleading information to the court after his conviction.
