Lil Durk has been waiting to find out about his bond, however, Judge Michael W Fitzgerald does not appear to be in a rush.

Last week, Lil Durk had a bond hearing, in which his legal team argued why he deserves his freedom back prior to his VICAR trial in August 2027. Durk was found not guilty of the murder-for-hire plot to kill Lul Pab. Therefore, his legal team believes he deserves some kind of restitution after spending the last two years in jail.

Durk's bail package was impressive. It included a $1 million payment, as well as royalties from music publishing. Meanwhile, there were also character letters from the likes of JAY-Z, J. Cole, and many others.

Just hours before this bond hearing, the prosecution stepped in with a filing of their own. It was here that they accused Durk of bringing contraband into the jail. They also spoke about the character letters and how they are of little substance.

According to reporter Michael Blackshire, it's been exactly one week since the hearing, and Durk still doesn't have an answer.

Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald had made it clear that he had a lot to consider. He was going to review both filings and come up with a decision. However, that decision hasn't come yet, and fans are getting anxious for an answer.

When Will Lil Durk Find Out If He Got Bond?

Quite simply, there is no timeline for when Lil Durk will get an answer about his bond. It all depends on Judge Fitzgerald's discretion. The Judge has other cases to consider, and there is no telling where Durk is on the priority list.

For now, the rapper, his legal team, and the fans are just going to have to hang tight until more information is known.

This remains a developing story, so stay tuned to HNHH for updates.
