HOUSTON -- A Texas Supreme Court justice's wife turned herself in Thursday afternoon after she was indicted in connection with a fire at the couple's Spring home, KPRC Local 2 reported.

Justice David Medina's wife, Francisca, was indicted on three counts Wednesday -- felony arson, felony criminal mischief and state criminal mischief, according to the district attorney's office. If convicted, she would face punishment of probation to life in prison.

Francisca Medina did not comment after posting bond and leaving the courthouse.

"We just posted a non-arrest bond and everything went smoothly," bondsman Tedd Blackwood said.

This is the second time Francisca Medina has been indicted in the fire.

A grand jury initially handed down indictments against David Medina and his wife in January. David Medina was charged with felony tampering with documents charges while Francisca Medina was charged with felony arson.

"We're looking forward to trial and I think a lot of people's questions will be answered at trial," prosecutor Vic Wisner said. "We continued to investigate the case. We felt we had sufficient probable cause against her, but not against David Medina, so that's where we are at."

Wisner said David Medina has been cleared of any wrongdoing.

"Anyone who saw the two indictments could conclude Mrs. Medina committed arson, and Justice Medina covered for her and tampered evidence to do it," said Jeffrey Dorrell, a former grand juror who first indicted the couple.

Then-District Attorney Chuck Rosenthal asked for the charges to be dropped because of what he called a lack of evidence. State District Judge Brian Rains then dismissed all the charges.

Rosenthal resigned as district attorney a few weeks later amid a scandal that involved racist and pornographic e-mails found on his county computer.

The Medinas' home caught fire in Spring in June. The damage to the home totaled more than $250,000. It spread to a neighbor's home.

The Harris County Fire Marshal's office has said the fire was not electrical or accidental. Detectives said an accelerant was found.

The Medinas have denied involvement in the fire. Defense attorneys said they would unite to vigorously defend Francisca Medina.

"This is a tragedy to indict a stay-at-home mom for starting a fire she had no reason or motive to do, and didn't do," attorney Dick DeGuerin said. "There is no evidence she did."

Francisco Medina will remain free on bond. She has a May 20 court date. There's no word yet on when the case will go to trial.

David Medina is a former Harris County state district judge.
