Lawyer: Guatemala judge orders McAfee released


The judge ruled McAfee's detention illegal, ordered him released and gave him 10 days to put his immigration situation in order, according to the attorney.

Lawyer Telesforo Guerra says the judge notified him verbally of the ruling, but that it may take a day for formal written notification to win McAfee's release.

Judge Judith Secaida did not return phone calls on Tuesday seeking to confirm the ruling.

Guerra said Secaida ruled McAfee's detention illegal, ordered him released and gave him 10 days to put his immigration situation in order.

McAfee was detained last week after he sneaked into Guatemala from neighboring Belize. Police in neighboring Belize want to question him in the fatal shooting in November of a U.S. expatriate who lived near his home on a Belizean island.

They do things differently down there and I wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of the law in any of those countries.
