The U.S. Department of Justice last week said prosecutors had failed to turn over favorable evidence before the former legistors' 2007 trials on bribery, extortion and conspiracy.
On Wednesday, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco ordered both men released from prison, leaving the trial judge, U.S. District Judge John Sedwick in Anchorage, to set conditions.
He has not set a time to hear the substantive case involving the withheld evidence. The 9th Circuit directed Sedwick to determine whether the material was serious enough to prejudice their trials. If so, he could order new trials or dismiss charges.

Palin messed up BIG TIME! The three people she put away were released because of legitimate mis-trial.
This was her claim to fame, now it's turning out to be an even bigger scandal then it began as.
