The judge set Wilkerson's bond at a hefty $1.2 million after initially saying Wilkerson wouldn't get any bond at all. WKMG reports the prosecutor called Wilkerson "a danger to the community."
WFTV notes Wilkerson is also charged with three counts of attempted first-degree murder and three counts of child abuse. Her bond was set at $300,000 for each murder count and $100,000 per child abuse count.
WOFL points out Wilkerson's 3, 9 and 10-year-old children are currently in state custody. Her kids were not injured in last Tuesday's incident.
After the hearing, a public defender told reporters he's hoping to try to get Wilkerson's bond lowered.
