CBS 6 News’ Catie Beck says the judge ruled Thursday that Brandon Raub should be released because the original petition contained no facts. In other words, there was no information on why Raub was being held — and the judge his detention violated his civil liberties.
Beck said the judge is in the process of writing an order for Raub’s release. He is expected to be released from a the hospital in Salem, Virginia Thursday afternoon.

freakjive, agree with your point, but yes its right direction in this case. Looking like TPTB got to much attention and it points to a need for vigilance on the peoples part - hopefully an unintended consequence of the governments action on this case.
I found it astounding that the Judge ruled there was absolutely no facts stated on their warrant - that is scary!
Basically it appears they just went and rousted the guy because they could.
