Skelton, 53, was arraigned on the charges Monday in 2A District Court; he’s facing three counts of open murder and three counts of tampering with evidence.

The judge set his bond at $60 million. A probable cause hearing is scheduled for November 24 and a preliminary hearing is scheduled for December 1.

Earlier this year, a judge ruled that the three brothers – Andrew, Alexander and Tanner – were legally dead. It came after a request from the boys’ mother, Tana Zuvers. Their death date was set as Nov.
