MANHATTAN SUPREME COURT — A woman who prosecutors said admitted to trying to drown her toddler in the Hudson River to spite her husband went home to him Monday, free for the first time since her May arrest.
Devi Silvia, 34, who was charged with the attempted murder of her 19-month-old daughter Jessica, was released on a $10,000 bail on Monday and was headed to the couple's Upper West Side apartment after posting the bond.
The mother, who has been at Elmhurst Hospital for months, said she was suffering from bipolar disorder when she threw her baby into the freezing water and then jumped in after her. She and her hypothermia-stricken child were rescued shortly afterward.
The judge said that he was releasing her on the condition that she attend regular outpatient psychiatric treatment.
Neither Silvia nor her husband, Amirtharig Prithiviraj, would comment as they left the courthouse Monday afternoon.
Silvia's attorney, Seema Iyer, said she's extremely remorseful but very lucky that she and her child survived.
She misses her two children and shed tears in court several times at the though the thought of them, Iyer said.
"Every time the judge mentions the kids she just loses it."
