Victory for Alaskablawg!

Congratulations to Alaskablawger Steven Wells on his nearly complete victory in the case of Rachel Waterman, the Alaska teen blogger accused of plotting her mother's murder. Yesterday, the judge dismissed all charges and it seems unlikely the state will try to bring the case back, based on Alaskablawg's explanation of things. He calls yesterday the best day of his professional life and I can only imagine what it must feel like to get such a result after so much work (the case has already been tried once and ended in a hung jury) and with stakes so high. I'm in awe.

[Thanks to Blonde Justice for bringing this latest development to my attention.]
