NOW, A STORY YOU FIRST ON
4. YOU SAW THE STORY ABOUT
DRIVING DRUNK AND RUNNING OVER
A HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL.
SHE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN LET
OUT OF JAIL YET.
Reporter: THIS VICTIM
REMAINS IN VERY SERIOUS
CONDITION FACING MULTIPLE
FUTURE SURGERIES.
THE DRUNK DRIVER WHO HIT HIM IS
FREE TODAY DESPITE THE JUDGE'S
SPECIFIC ORDERS THAT SHE BE
RELEASED ONLY UNDER VERY STRICT
CONDITIONS.
51-YEAR-OLD MARILYN WAS
RELEASED HOURS AFTER HER
ARREST.
SHE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN FREED.
SHE WAS BEHIND THE WHEEL OF
THIS SUV, STINKING DRUNK IN
APRIL, PLOWING THROUGH A
BASEBALL FIELD, HITTING THE
HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL, JAVIER.
SHE HAD THREE TIMES THE LEGAL
LIMIT OF ALCOHOL IN HER BLOOD.
THE JUDGE WHO ORDERED THE
ARREST DIRECTED SHE UNDERGO A
COMMUNITY CONTROL PROGRAM.
IN THIS WARRANT, DIRECTED THAT
SHE THEN BE HELD UNDER STRICT
HOUSE ARREST WITH A GPS
MONITORING ADVICE AND NO
DRIVING ORDER.
NONE OF THAT WAS DONE.
CORRECTIONS JUST LET HER GO ON
$15,000 BOND.
WE HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF
THAT.
WE WERE TOLD THERE WAS STANDARD
BOND, AND CORRECTIONS DID NOT
NOTIFY US OF ANYTHING.
Reporter: FILING THIS
MOTION FOR AN EMERGENCY HEARING
SAYING THE DEFENDANT IS A CLEAR
DANGER TO THE COMMUNITY.
GIVEN THE STRENGTH OF EVIDENCE
AGAINST HER, A FLIGHT RISK.
NOT ONLY IS SHE NOT CONFINED
HERE TO HER HOME, SHE HAS HER
PASSPORT.
EVEN THOUGH THE JUDGE ORDERED
JAILERS TO SEIZE IT, THEY DID
NOT.
I'M SURE THERE IS BOUND TO
BE ANGER AND FRUSTRATION WITH
THE ON-GOING MEDICAL SITUATION
WITH THE VICTIM, BUT FOR THE
SAFETY OF THE COMMUNITY, THIS
IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT.
Reporter: SHE REMAINS FREE,
AND JAVIER REMAINS IN INTENSIVE
CARE.
SHE IS DUE FOR A REPORT
TOMORROW.
SHE WILL BE REJAILED.
NOW, THE MIAMI-DADE CORRECTIONS
DEPARTMENT, WE'VE BEEN TRYING
TO REACH THEM ALL DAY VIA E-
MAIL AND CALLS JUST MINUTES
AGO.
THEY RELEASED A STATEMENT
SAYING THEY WERE UNAWARE OF THE
STRICT CONDITIONS OF HER
RELEASE WHEN THEY LET HER GO
LAST NIGHT.
WHY?
