Smith Statement on Appeals Court Decision to Order Jason Puracal's Release

Statement

Date: Sept. 12, 2012
Location: Washington, DC

Tonight, I was thrilled to hear Jason will be released. The Granada appeals court has annulled Jason's case and ordered his release. For too long, Jason has been languishing behind bars as the result of a flawed conviction. I am extremely pleased to hear that the situation will soon be rectified when the release orders are carried out. I look forward to seeing Jason released from prison and on his way home shortly.
