JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Duval County Jail said that the woman accused of shooting at her husband and was later denied a 'stand your ground' petition, was released on bond and is now on home detention, WJXT reports.
The case began in August 2010 when Marissa Alexander was arrested on a charge of aggravated assault. Court records show she got into an argument with her estranged husband, Rico Gray, who, according to police reports, then shoved her.

Her defense said she fired a warning shot at Gray while he was with their two children. Prosecutors argued that Alexander fired a shot directly at Gray and the two children, endangering them.
In her original trial on the charge, a judge denied her 'Stand Your Ground' petition, saying it didn't apply because she left the house and willingly returned with the gun.
According to Alexander's lawyer, Bruce Zimet Judge Daniel granted a motion for pretrial release Wednesday. She was released on $200,000 bond and is on house arrest, with a GPS monitoring device. Zimet expects Alexander to remain out of jail until her hearing. Here are the conditions of Alexander's bond, according to the Duval County Clerk of Courts website:
