I wish people like that would go kill themselves. After having her husband falsely convicted, she's Real Sorry about it? Don't believe it for a minute.

Very unlikely. Once the district attorney has filed charges, the wife's testimony becomes suspect if she changes it to allow a release. It is a common occurrance. The wife is a victim, complains, then starts feeling guilty.
See the advise of the public defender and try to get probation if possible.
