Brooke Astor's octogenarian son won a temporary reprieve from prison life on Friday, when a judge ruled he could stay out while continuing to appeal his conviction for swindling the late philanthropist's $185 million fortune.
A frail-looking Anthony Marshall, 88, was wheeled before Manhattan Supreme Court Justice A. Kirke Bartley for a brief appearance Friday morning.
The sides agreed to let Marshall — who showed up with his teary wife Charlene — and his crooked former lawyer Francis Morrissey stay free until the state's highest court rules on their last ditch attempt to escape incarceration.

Charlene, who was thought to be the motivation for Marshall's fortune-grubbing, hugged her stone-faced husband and cried as she whispered to him in the courtroom.
The case was adjourned until June 17, when they will turn themselves in if Court of Appeals denies their applications before then.
"If the leave for appeal is denied, the defendants will be expected to surrender on the next scheduled surrender date," Marshall's lawyer John Cuti told the judge.
Convicted in 2009, Marshall and Morrissey were each sentenced to one to three years in prison for their roles in the fraud. They took advantage of Astor's dementia in her last years to alter her will, the jury found.
