Kent Hovind To Be Free In August - Maybe Sooner

It is pretty hard to surprise me, but Judge Margaret Casey's Rodgers's ruling reversing Kent Hovind's conviction for contempt of court did the trick. There was something of a one-two punch as I was also surprised over the weekend when the Government sought dismissal without prejudice of the remaining counts of the indictment, that the jury had not reached a verdict on in March. That had come in the wake of Judge Rodgers indicating that she was not open to a continuance to give the Government time to respond to defense motions.
