More fallout from DOJ's flawed Alaska corruption investigation... Judge clears way for Kott, Kohring release adn.com A federal judge in Anchorage on Wednesday ordered the U.S. Marshals Service to bring former Alaska Reps. Pete Kott and Vic Kohring from prison into his court "as soon as reasonably possible" to set their release pending further hearings. U.S. District Judge John Sedwick filed his orders shortly after the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco sent the corruption cases back to his court with directives that both men be released from prison. The three-judge appeals panel left it to Sedwick to determine conditions of release, though they noted that prosecutors had recommended the men be set free without bond. * The remand follows a motion to the 9th Circuit brought last week by a new team of federal prosecutors requesting the return of the cases to the lower court in Anchorage. The prosecutors said the Justice Department had recently discovered favorable evidence that should have been turned over to Kott and Kohring before their trials in 2007.** The new prosecutors have not said yet what the evidence is, nor have they suggested a remedy. more: adn.com
