McLEAN, Va. (AP) ― 連邦の 検察官,検事s on Friday dropped all 告発(する),告訴(する)/料金s against a Palestinian 行動主義者 whose 犯罪の contempt 事例/患者 had sat in limbo for five years in 前線 of a skeptical 裁判官.

He was 最初 告発(する),告訴(する)/料金d with playing a leadership 役割 in the テロリスト group Palestinian Islamic Jihad. He ended up taking a 嘆願 取引 on 大いに 減ずるd 告発(する),告訴(する)/料金s after a 陪審/陪審員団 failed to 罪人/有罪を宣告する him に引き続いて a 非常に長い 裁判,公判.

After 受託するing the 嘆願 取引,協定 in Tampa, Florida, in 2006, it had been 推定する/予想するd that Al-Arian would be 国外追放するd.

FILE - This Jan. 16, 2009 とじ込み/提出する photo shows former University of South Florida professor Sami Al-Arian outside 連邦の 法廷,裁判所 in Alexandria, Va. 検察官,検事s said Friday, June 27, 2014 that they are moving to 減少(する) 犯罪の contempt 告発(する),告訴(する)/料金s against Sami Al-Arian, a Palestinian 行動主義者 whose 事例/患者 has sat in limbo for five years. Al-Arian has been a 的 of the 司法(官) Department for more than a 10年間. He was 最初 告発(する),告訴(する)/料金d with playing a leadership 役割 in the テロリスト group Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Since 2008, 検察官,検事s in Virginia have 追求するd contempt 告発(する),告訴(する)/料金s for his 拒絶 to 証言する to a 大陪審. (AP Photo/Kevin Wolf, とじ込み/提出する)

Instead, the 合法的な saga continued when 検察官,検事s in Alexandria sought his 証言 in a separate 調査. Al-Arian 辞退するd, 説 he had carefully 交渉するd the Florida 嘆願 取引,協定 to 除外する the usual 必要物/必要条件 to 協力する with 政府 調査s.

But 控訴裁判所s 支配するd that 検察官,検事s were within their 権利s to 召喚状 Al-Arian. In 2008, 検察官,検事s in Virginia とじ込み/提出するd 犯罪の contempt 告発(する),告訴(する)/料金s against Al-Arian for his 拒絶 to 証言する にもかかわらず a 認める of 免疫.

For the last five years, the 事例/患者 sat 活動停止中の on the 法廷,裁判所 docket. 裁判官 Leonie Brinkema questioned the 政府's 策略 and wondered whether 検察官,検事s were 侵害する/違反するing the spirit of Al-Arian's 嘆願 取引,協定 in Florida, if not the letter of it.

In 2009, she told lawyers that she would 支配する "soon" on pretrial 動議s that needed to be 解決するd for the 事例/患者 to go 今後. But without explanation, she 辞退するd to 支配する on those 事柄s.

The only 事実 活動/戦闘 she has taken on the 事例/患者 has been to 自由化する the 条件s of Al-Arian's pretrial 拘留,拘置. For several years, he had essentially been on home 逮捕(する), living with his family. Last year, she 修正するd the 条件s so that Al-Arian was 解放する/自由な to leave the home under GPS 監視するing as long as he met a 外出禁止令.

As a result of the 合法的な limbo, 検察官,検事s have been unable to 追求する the contempt 事例/患者, and the 政府 has been unable to 国外追放する him.

The Associated 圧力(をかける) 報告(する)/憶測d last month that the five-year limbo is a rarity in 犯罪の 事例/患者s and even more unusual in the Eastern 地区 of Virginia, known as the "ロケット/急騰する Docket" for its swift disposition of 事例/患者s.

検察官,検事s moved Friday to 減少(する) the 事例/患者, and U.S. 裁判官 Anthony Trenga quickly followed 控訴 with a formal order of 解雇/(訴訟の)却下. It was not すぐに (疑いを)晴らす why Trenga 解任するd the 事例/患者 instead of Brinkema.

The 解雇/(訴訟の)却下 is 推定する/予想するd to lead to Al-Arian's 国外追放, though it is not (疑いを)晴らす where he would be sent.

Assistant U.S. 弁護士/代理人/検事 Gordon Kromberg 公式文書,認めるd in the 動議 to 解任する that the 政府 had prodded Brinkema 支援する in 2010 to 支配する on pretrial 事柄s so the 事例/患者 could proceed, one way or another.

"The 部隊d 明言する/公表するs 再確認するs the evaluations of the 長所 of the 起訴 that were made in 2008 and again in 2010. にもかかわらず, in light of the passage of time without 決意/決議, the 部隊d 明言する/公表するs has decided that the best 利用できる course of 活動/戦闘 is to move to 解任する the 起訴,告発 so that 活動/戦闘 can be taken to 除去する the 被告 from the 部隊d 明言する/公表するs," Kromberg wrote.

検察官,検事s' only other 選択 for 押し進めるing the 事例/患者 今後 would have been to 追求する a 令状 against Brinkema in 前線 of another 裁判官, which would have 証明するd ぎこちない given that 検察官,検事s appear before Brinkema on hundreds of 犯罪の 事柄s a year.

Al-Arian's lawyer, Jonathan Turley, wrote in a blog 地位,任命する tha t "(o)bviously, we have been 捜し出すing this result for years."
