Case delayed; Megahed released

Former USF student Youssef Megahed was released on bond today after 9 months in jail. His trial on explosives charges was set to begin today, but a last-minute appeal caused a delay.

Ian: "This is an interesting case, the impartiality of the US judicial system will be closely examined. Were these two kids with little more than bottle rockets in their trunk?"
