(May 20, 2008)--The wife of Texas Supreme Court Justice David Medina pleaded not guilty Tuesday to charges in connection with a fire that burned down the couple's suburban Houston home last summer.
Francisca Medina's attorney entered the plea during her arraignment on Tuesday in a Houston courtroom.
Her husband accompanied her.
It was her first court appearance since she was indicted late last month on three charges: felony arson, felony criminal mischief and state jail felony criminal mischief.
Francisca Medina is free on bonds totaling $42,000.
Both Francisca and David Medina were originally indicted in connection with the June 28 fire that damaged her home and two neighboring houses in Spring.
The fire caused about $900,000 in damages.
The indictments were later dismissed and only Francisca Medina was re-indicted.
