Wyoming abortion clinic fire suspect to go free pending case
A woman accused of setting fire to a Wyoming abortion clinic will be released from jail while her case proceeds
CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — She posted on social media about competing in a bike race, losing her pet hedgehog and visiting a butterfly garden with her grandmother but gave no sign of the anti-abortion views investigators say drove her to set fire to a Wyoming abortion clinic.
On Tuesday, a judge ruled that Lorna Roxanne Green may be released from jail to carry on life as a college student pending further developments in her case, U.S. Magistrate Judge Stephanie Hambrick ruled.
“I believe the weight of the evidence is strong,” said Hambrick, a substitute judge in the case who's based in Yellowstone National Park and who presided over Green's detention hearing by video link broadcast in U.S. District Court in Cheyenne.
Green, who waived her right to a preliminary hearing, won't need to post bond but would owe $10,000 for violating bond conditions.
