MISSOULA, Mont. – A federal judge has ordered a Montana newlywed to be released from jail on her own recognizance while awaiting a murder trial in the death of her husband in Glacier National Park.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Jeremiah Lynch said Thursday that Jordan Linn Graham, 22, of Kalispell did not pose a flight risk because of her strong community ties and did not appear to be a danger to others.

Graham allegedly pushed Cody Lee Johnson, 25, face-first off a cliff to his death in the national park on July 7 after the two argued. Earlier that day, prosecutors claim Graham told a friend she was having doubts about the couple’s 8-day-old marriage.

Prosecutors asked the court to reverse Graham's release, saying she poses a safety risk and has repeatedly lied to investigators.

Sign #1 that you may have chosen the wrong woman to be your wife.

Well, she did keep her vow of 'until death do you part'...

“I bet this chick has crazy eyes.”

I bet she has irresistible bedroom eyes.

My son’s friends were telling him not to do it. At the bachelor party they were all trying to get up the nerve to sit him down and persuade him that he was making a big mistake. The best man said no, it was too late. Their reason wasn’t that she was crazy, though. They just think that his wife is way too materialistic.

What if she goes bar hopping?

"She’d been telling people she knew she never wanted to be married, she just wanted to have a wedding, and that’s apparently what they were arguing about."

She just wanted to have a wedding. But then people started laying that whole "husband" and "marriage" trip on her, and it was just too much. The pressure to conform to a hetero-normative social construct, i.e., "traditional marriage" imposed stresses that could only be relieved by pushing the "oppressor" out of the dynamic ... or off a cliff ...

What if she goes bar hopping? Would you want to be the guy she meets at the pub?

I've probably met worse at bars.

Scene of the crime... sounds like she tried to pull off a little "swimmer" action, but without the family lawyers and wealth that he had to help her out.

She’s a brunette, too. From my experience, it doesn’t get much more mental than them.

What do you call a man out on a date with a brunette?

A hostage.

Released on her own recognizance, no bail required. Must be awesome being a chick. Now all she has to do is pluck a nose hair to make a tear, then tell the court how the guy was scary and mean. That’s why she pushed him over.

Hey guys! Look who’s single again!

A great opportunity for some "lucky" guy to make her single yet again!
