Court documents reveal that prosecutors are handling a huge amount of evidence in the case against Lil Durk.
The discovery includes approximately 230 GB of digital files, including audio recordings and surveillance footage. Additionally, about 20,000 pages of reports detail violent crimes such as murder, supported by photographs, witness statements, and medical records.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Patricia Donahue rejected Banks’ bail request on Dec. 12. A five-page order filed on Dec. 16 explains her reasoning, including Durk’s lawyer Drew Findling’s argument that his flights out of the country to Zurich and Dubai were merely one trip with connections.
“This evidence supports the inference that Defendant, who has considerable resources, attempted to leave the United States upon learning of the arrests of his co-conspirators,” Donahue wrote.

Durk faces serious charges including conspiracy, use of interstate facilities to commit murder-for-hire resulting in death and discharging firearms including a machine gun in connection with a violent crime. Prosecutors allege that Lil Durk was involved in a retaliatory shooting that resulted in the 2022 murder of Quando Rondo’s cousin, Lul Pab.
Prosecutors have also attributed delays in the trial to the case’s complexity. With numerous defendants and extensive evidence, they argue that it is “unreasonable to expect adequate preparation for pretrial proceedings or the trial itself.”
