existing statutory habeas law is unprepared to deal with this contingency, and the people who need to file claims on behalf of the imprisoned (public defenders) have not yet been able to sift through the prisoners' records to mount successful claims.
Admittedly, these types of cases should be disposed of and the prisoners released ASAP. But not "just cuz." Final legal rulings carry significant weight and it is specious to believe these guys were falsely imprisoned; they were jailed for valid legal reasons at the time, those justifications have evaporated based on a new interpretation of a gray area in the law, and it will take some time to address a problem no one anticipated before last year.
An Atlanta police officer was arrested for allegedly driving 128 mph and having a blood alcohol level nearly twice the legal limit, authorities told Channel 2's Erica Byfield.
Jarvis Farley is charged with DUI, reckless driving a speeding.

I dont understand this series of phrases. They shouldnt be released "just cuz," they should be released, ASAP, because they ARE NOT GUILTY OF THE CRIME THEY WERE CONVICTED OF.
Stephanie Mitchell is director at Drifter's Place Animal Rescue near Oxford.
Last week, Mitchell said she saw what appeared to be a stray dog. She looked for a tag and when she couldn't find one, she took the pooch home for the night.
But she never expected she would be arrested 24 hours later, and now she wants to change state law.
"I took it home, put it in my house, slept on a couch and the next day spent half a day trying to find the owners only to be arrested."
"What I see is boxes of puppies on the side of the road that everybody is scared to pick up and help," Mitchell said. We tried to get in touch with the dog's owners for their side of the story, a family member wrote down my name and number but no one ever called back.
What I see is a crazy animal rights activist stealing dogs off private property.
As a cop, I've found almost every time I encountered this "wild dog" situation, I usually located the owner by knocking on the door of the house the dog was in front of.
