As expected, Josh Wolf, the video blogger who was jailed after refusing to turn over a film of political protests to a federal grand jury, was released on Friday morning from a federal prison in Dublin, Calif.
“It feels great to be a free man again,” he told a crowd at a press conference in San Francisco following his release.
Wolf was jailed on Aug. 1 and denied bail after a judge found him in contempt of court for refusing to testify before a U.S. grand jury and hand over the unpublished video footage he shot during a clash between San Francisco police and anti-G8 protesters in July 2005. But a panel of Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals judges on Thursday granted him bail while his appeal in the case is being considered, which could take months.
