(MSC News)--A Holton man accused of killing his wife has been released from jail following a bond reduction.
George Fleshman had been held in the Jackson County Jail on a $200,000 bond since his arrest March 8th, but a judge reduced his bond to $50,000 over the weekend despite the objection of County Attorney Shawna Miller.
Fleshman was ordered not to leave Jackson County while waiting for his June 8th preliminary hearing and to wear a monitoring device.
Fleshman is charged with second-degree murder in the death of his 62-year-old wife, Elizabeth, at the couple’s residence last October.
Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse says an autopsy shows she died due to trauma to the spleen.
