Nancy Smith — the former Head Start bus driver tried and convicted of molesting a gaggle of Lorain kids under her care in the late 90s, a conviction later overturned in 2009, which in turn was rejected by the Ohio Supreme County last month — will not have to go back to jail for now.

According to the Morning Journal, Judge James Burge — the robe who originally tossed the conviction in 2009 — ruled this morning that Smith would remain free while the Ohio Supreme Court considers motions filed Monday.
