YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A judge ordered Timothy Busfield to be released from jail Tuesday as his sobbing wife, Melissa Gilbert, mouthed “thank you, God” during a detention hearing Tuesday after the actor and director was charged with child sex abuse.

Judge David Murphy ordered that Busfield, 68, be released on his own recognizance until the trial.

He can leave the state to live at home, per the judges orders. Busfield will also be supervised upon release by a pretrial service in Albuquerque.
