ORIGINAL STORY:

According to ABC News, a Bahamas Supreme Court judge ruled that Lindsay Shiver can return to the US.

The judge heard from Lindsay Shiver's husband Robert for the first time during a hearing on Thursday. The judge also heard from the prosecution and defense during the hearing.

Court TV reported, "Robert Shiver, appeared via Zoom to say he doesn't want her released, because he fears for his and their three sons' safety."

Previously, Court TV reportedthe Thomasville mother of three and her two co-conspirators pled not guilty in an alleged murder-for-hire plot to kill Shiver’s husband. Earlier this month, a judge set a March 4, 2024 trial date.

In September, ABC News obtained bodycam videorecorded in the Thomasville area in April. That video shows police responding to 911 calls from Lindsay and her mother in law. That video was recorded months before Lindsay was arrested.
