She was granted a new trial based on the fact that a State Witness in her first trial (Expert) stated that she had watched a crime show before the drownings...the show was never aired hence the grant for a new trial...and she is out on 200,000 bond on the condition she stays at the mental hospital for treatment until her new trial in March....what I have read about it anyway.
Shelbay Reviewed by Shelbay on . Why was the Texas mom released from jail? Especially, after drowning her five children. I only caught a little of the story and heard that she suffered from psychosis, then heard two opposing viewpoints from two of Dan Abrams' guests. Actually, I didn't hear it, at all, except that.
