New evidence in the case convinced the court to allow the woman to bond out of jail.
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – A judge in Florida set a $150,000 bond Thursday for a 76-year-old woman accused of shooting her terminally ill husband to death.Although she was initially denied bail, new evidence convinced the court to reconsider that decision.
The ruling followed a grand jury’s recommendation to indict her on a lesser offense, making her entitled to bond. The judge also ordered that Gilland have no firearms or weapons in her possession. She’ll also be under court supervision. First arrested on a capital offense, Gilland is now charged with assisting self-harm manslaughter, which is a first-degree felony.
The charges stem from what authorities call a failed murder-suicide agreement at a Daytona Beach hospital last month.
