Wahhaj is accused of abducting his son Abdul Ghani Wahhaj from Georgia. The 3-year-old boy's remains were found at the compound days after the raid.
District Judge Emilio Chavez made the decision Wednesday in the first hearing. He dropped the charges, which he said can be refiled, against Lucas Morten, Hujrah Wahhaj, and Subhannah Wahhaj saying the prosecution failed to hold a preliminary hearing to prove probable cause within ten days of their first court appearance.
Prosecutors tried explaining to the judge that they didn't hold a preliminary hearing because they expected the defendants to be released from jail. If that would have happened, prosecutors would have had a total of 60 days to hold a preliminary hearing.
“What I would argue is that every day we expected them to be released from custody because they’re on an unsecured bond,” said one of the prosecutors.
The suspects were not released because they couldn't find housing in Taos County, one of the conditions of release.

Or, alternatively, there is another reason the office declined to pursue those three suspects. Which is possible.

They found remains of a kidnapped child on the property....not sure how something like this can just be dismissed.

If the CIA is involved anything can be covered up.

This is a dropped ball by the prosecutor if they didn't schedule a hearing. The preliminary hearing is to establish probable cause. This tells us nothing about the quality of evidence assembled. It just tells us the prosecutor's office is inept.

Well charges against some of the men still are being applied.
But this whole story is fishy.
The facts surrounding the compound, the connections to an imam who is famous in new york and was accused of being involved in the original WTC bombing, the judge leaving the men out with basically no money paid for bail, the cops (or fbi cant remember) bulldozing the crime scene, and now this.
Something is going on here.
