He’s Gonna Run

Following up on the Lentz conviction

dismissal, here’s the latest:

    ALEXANDRIA, Va.—One week after overturning his capital conviction, a federal judge ruled Tuesday that Jay Lentz could be released without bond in 48 hours. U.S. District Judge Gerald Bruce Lee gave prosecutors that much time to appeal his decision to toss Lentz’s conviction on kidnapping resulting in the death of his ex-wife. Lee also said it would take that long to make arrangements for releasing Lentz, 44, who has been jailed since his arrest 27 months ago. Lee said it could take as long as six additional months for the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond to rule on the case.

Some of us aren’t too happy with this development, as you may imagine.
