I'm not sure what the district attorney in the case of 5 jihadists arrested in the training camp case in New Mexico were thinking, but they have led to a serious mistake that could end up forming a travesty of justice:

A head-scratching prosecutorial misstep caused a New Mexico judge to dismiss all charges against three of the five defendants arrested at a suspected Muslim extremest compound earlier this month.

Judge Emilio Chavez said Wednesday he had no choice but to release defendants Lucas Morton, Subhanna Wahhaj and Hujrah Wahhaj because state prosecutors failed to schedule a probable cause hearing within 10 business days of their arrest, as required by law.

The trio was arrested along with two other suspects, Siraj Wahhaj and Jany Leveille, after authorities raided their ramshackle compound on Aug. 3. During the raid, police discovered 11 malnourished children living in squalor, as well as the remains of a 3-year-old boy who was later identified as Siraj Wahhaj’s missing son, Abdul-Ghani Wahhaj. All five defendants were subsequently charged with 11 counts of felony child abuse.

Police also found multiple firearms and evidence suggesting the adults had been training the children to commit some kind of mass shooting, according to court records. On Tuesday, prosecutors said a handwritten note titled “Phases of a Terrorist Attack” was among the documents seized at the compound.

Despite the seriousness of the charges and the high-profile nature of the case, the district attorney’s office apparently failed to follow through on routine criminal procedure.

“For whatever reason, the state did not obtain a preliminary hearing date within 10 days,” said Aleksandar Kostich, a public defender representing Morton, according to the Washington Post. “It’s absolutely bizarre.”

It most definitely is. Didn't these jerks understand that to effectively ensure such dangerous felons will remain behind bars, they have to fill out all the necessary documents? Instead, they screwed up big time, and now the 3 criminals released could easily vanish and get away with their crimes. What was going on, and what were they thinking? Ryan Mauro spoke more about this case with the Daily Caller. The people in the D.A's office should all be thrown out for their failures to do proper work on this chilling incident.
