Westboro stalker released from jail
Ryan Newell, the double-amputee veteran who was arrested for stalking the Westboro “Baptist” Church protesters in Wichita has been released on his own recognizance from the local jail according to a link that Jerry920 sent us.
Although Newell will still have to report back to court and face the charges, he was overjoyed at leaving the jail, his defense lawyer, Boyd McPherson, said Tuesday night.
“It was very emotional for him,” McPherson said.
“He wasn’t aware that it was going to happen, and it happened very quickly, and it is probably still soaking in.”
As far as he knows, McPherson said, Newell had never been held in jail before. “To my knowledge, he has no criminal history whatsoever,” McPherson said.
According to the article, Newell is supposed to be court today for a preliminary hearing and he’s supposed to get counciling at the DVA – which is a good sign for his case.

Let’s hope for his sake he gets some good counciling. The Westboro fags are not worth spending any time in jail over. Let’s also hope that the Westboro fags don’t harass the hell out of him to provoke a reaction……oh who am I kidding, you know they will. Let’s just hope he doesn’t take the bait…
