Spouse poisoning suspect posts bail

SAN DIEGO -- A former coroner's lab toxicologist was released on $1.25 million bail, six months after she was arrested and charged with poisoning her husband with drugs allegedly stolen from her office.

Kristin Rossum, 25, smiled and cried Friday as she hugged her parents, who helped secure her bail and win her release from Las Colinas women's jail in Santee.

Rossum was taken into custody in June, seven months after her husband, Gregory Devillers, 26, was found dead in their apartment. Autopsy results showed he died of an overdose of fentanyl, a powerful painkiller.
