Phillip, the accomplice, Stephen, the mastermind, Stephen's bail is set at $900,000, which is a pretty clear message from the court system.
You're not going anywhere, buddy.
The judge knows Stephen's already escaped once.
They're not taking any chances.
But Stephen's sitting in his cell and he's not panicking, he's thinking.
And what he's thinking is, hmm,
What if I just ask them to lower my bail?
So he picks up the jail phone and calls the county records office.
And when the clerk answers, Stephen says he's a judge presiding over the Stephen Russell case.
And there's been a mistake with his bail.
It should be $45,000, not $900,000.
Can she fix that in the system?
Hmm?
And you know what?
The clerk does.
She changes it.
No questions asked, no verification.
Just, okay, sure, 45K, done.
Stephen pulls bail with a check that later bounces.
When he gets home that night, Phillip's already there.
