Skelton Update

Jeffrey Skelton - who allegedly murdered his wife's lover by shooting him in the eye, foot, groin and twice in the chest - has had a busy month or so.

You may recall that after he allegedly shot Michael Delmore, he called WCCO radio and confessed to his actions on June 20.

Then, while awaiting a bail hearing, he violated the law by trying to contact his wife from jail. This caused his bail to be raised from $500,000 to $750,000.

He was returned to jail days later - he'd tried to contact his wife at work.

He had another bail hearing last week. How do you suppose that went?

According to a source close to the investigation, despite having violated bail conditions twice in the past month (not to mention having allegedly shot his victim in the eye, groin, foot and twice in the chest), the judge not only set the same conditions for bail (stay out of Wright and Hennepin Counties, wear a GPS bracelet, and not to contact his wife or his alleged victim's family) - he also kept the bail at $750,000.

While the Minnesota constitution does indeed provide for reasonable bail, it's hard to avoid the impression that Mr. Skelton is getting more strikes than the new batter in kindergarten league.
