KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) — A judge has set a $1.2 million bond for a Wisconsin man once convicted in his wife's death after prosecutors said he poisoned her with antifreeze.
Mark Jensen was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison in 2008, but recently won appeals that set up a retrial in Kenosha County. It wasn't immediately clear whether he could afford to post bail.
His conviction was overturned by a federal judge, and an appeals court panel upheld the ruling last year. The decision said a note from his wife, Julie, implicating him in her death was improperly allowed into evidence.
The defense has said Julie Jensen was depressed and killed herself after framing her husband.
Prosecutors say Jensen killed his wife to make room for his mistress.
