A mother accused of covering up her daughter's role in a car accident that killed five people has walked out of jail.
Sheila Michael posted $50,000 bond late Thursday night while her daughter remains behind bars.
With her husband at her side -- Sheila Michael walked free from the Fulton County jail.
She's accused of helping her daughter Aimee cover-up a fiery Easter Sunday hit-and-run crash that claimed the lives of five -- including three children.
Wednesday, victims' family members unsuccessfully asked the judge to keep the mother and daughter locked up.
Aimee Michael -- 22-years-old -- was granted a $150,000 and placed under a 24-hour a day curfew with a monitoring bracelet to track her moves.
Investigators said the Aimee Michael triggered the chain reaction wreck and then fled the scene.
Prosecutors said her mother helped her cover-up the crime -- even spending $1,500 to repair the family car.
Prosecutors said Aimee Michael's driving record includes four speeding tickets, two of them picked on the same day.
Leaving jail just before midnight neither Sheila Michael nor her husband had anything to say.
