LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - A federal judge has repealed a surrender order to a woman convicted of conspiracy in a bombing that nearly killed the head of the Arkansas State Medical Board.

Thursday's order that Sangeeta Mann surrender on Dec. 3 to begin serving her one year sentence was repealed Monday by U.S. District Judge Brian Miller.

Mann appealed on Friday.

Monday's order says Mann will remain free while the U.S. Supreme Court reviews her appeal. It says a decision will be made after that review on whether Mann is allowed to voluntarily report to a federal prison.

Prosecutors say Mann hid documents when her husband - Randeep Mann - was investigated in the 2009 bombing at the home of Dr. Trent Pierce.

Randeep Mann was convicted and sentenced to life in prison.

easier said that done. what if she was scared for her life and her kids? what if she was just following orders to keep things afloat? its just monsterous what the husband did to the Dr.Pierce. i agree, she did the crime and she deserves the punishment. there's no need to belittle and insult a person using stereotypes. not refering to you @ itsjustme

If my wife was planning a terroristic act that could possibly kill an innocent person, you bet your ass I'd do something to stop it. It doesnt matter that its my wife planning it.

I see my other comment was deleted. Regina, how can you feel sorry for a woman who was trying to cover up for her husband who damn near killed someone? Call it what you want, she is just as guilty as he is.
