Michelle Williams' Dad Released on Bail

May 23rd 2006 08:30

Question – What is the easiest way to be released on bail?
Answer – Have a famous child.

Yes ladies and gentlemen, it seems that having a Hollywood star in the family is a definite means of being granted bail. Well, for stock market machine, Larry Williams at least.

He’s the father of Dawson’s Creek actress, Michelle Williams and on Saturday 20th May 2006, was arrested at Sydney’s Kingsford-Smith Airport on tax evasion charges. The 64 year old is wanted by the IRS for allegedly evading $1.5 million (US) in taxes.

One of the main factors that influence a magistrate in deciding whether or not a person should be released on bail is the likelihood of that person leaving the country and attempting an escape. In Mr William’s case, he is a prominent figure in the share market world, he is the father of an Oscar Nominee and also has a father-son relationship with his daughter’s boyfriend, famous Aussie actor Heath Ledger. His status in this sense seemed to give him a free ticket to bail.

Well, not totally free. Central Local Court magistrate Allan Moore today granted Mr Williams bail for $1 million (AUD). The other conditions of bail were that he must surrender his passport, not leave the Sydney CBD area and report to police three times a day. He is due to appear in court again on May 29.
