It is pretty hard to surprise me, but Judge Margaret Casey’s Rodgers’s ruling reversing Kent Hovind’s conviction for contempt of court did the trick. There was something of a one-two punch as I was also surprised over the weekend when the Government sought dismissal without prejudice of the remaining counts of the indictment, that the jury had not reached a verdict on in March.I guess that the government figured out that Hovind and his support network of Hovindicators were not worth the effort any more. Reilly has long thought that the government's case against Hovind was more of a witch hunt, although I doubt he would use those words. Maybe we will see Dr. Dino back in action. Interestingly, it is not clear whether or not his co-defendant, Paul Hansen will be set free as well.
