The South Florida woman convicted for trying to hire a hitman to kill her husband will be allowed to go home on house arrest after posting $500,000 bond as she appeals her 20-year sentence.
Judge Jeffrey Colbath granted the bond request in August, but expressed skepticism that Dippolito's appeal would be successful.
The bond was posted Monday, Dippolito's attorney, Michael Salnick, told the Palm Beach Post.
Dippolito is expected to leave the Palm Beach County Jail soon, though Salnick said he didn't know when she might be released.
The 28-year-old was convicted by a jury in May of solicitation to commit first-degree murder. She had faced a maximum of 30 years in prison.
The Boynton Beach newlywed wife was accused of reaching out to a hit man -- who turned out to be an undercover cop -- to kill her husband Michael in an effort to gain control of the couple's home in 2009.
After an elaborate sting caught on tape in which Dippolito teared-up after she was told by police her husband was dead, cops told her he was still alive and she was arrested.
The couple had been married for just six months but the hitman hire was allegedly the third attempt the femme fatale had made on her husband. She had previously tried spiking his tea with antifreeze and tried to get two strangers to kill him, according to police.
