US EditionJudge orders release of 3 of 'Newburgh Four' and assails FBI's role in a post-9/11 terror sting
- Three men convicted in a post-9/11 terrorism sting have been ordered to be released from prison by a judge who deemed their sentences to be unduly harsh and unjust. The judge criticized the FBI's role in radicalizing the men and described them as easily manipulated criminals caught up in a scheme driven by overzealous agents and a questionable informant.
- The judge granted the men's request for compassionate release, citing concerns for their health and her own qualms about the case. She reduced their 25-year mandatory minimum sentences to time served plus 90 days, allowing for probation officials to prepare for their release.
