As Timothy Busfield sits in custody facing multiple child crime charges, his wife, Melissa Gilbert, has come under scrutiny after deciding to intervene on behalf of her husband.
Last Friday (January 16), the Little House on the Prairie star submitted a personal letter to the judge overseeing Busfield’s case, pleading for her husband’s protection behind bars.
The filing was included among 75 letters of support attached to the defense’s response opposing the state’s motion for pretrial detention.
