Under the conditions of release. Ethan Nordean, who goes by "Rufio Panman," must remain in the Seattle area, abide by a curfew and adhere to local Covid rules.

Release may never happen though, if DC judge grants a stay as has happened in other cases.

2. Well, That's Foolish!

I wonder what spin on the law makes this a good idea.

3. We need to replace a whole slew of nutjob magistrates.

This is going to be a long haul.
