We’re not sure what exactly troubles us the most about this story… Is it the attorney attempting to get these two released into the community, or the journalistic slant and apparent inability to spell by the reporter?

Tampa, Fl — The lawyer from South Carolina that has represented the pair flew in to help the suspects find new council.

He met with the family to come up with a strategy for the release of Youssef Megahed and Ahmed Mohamed.

They were arrested in August for carrying explosives in their car. He predicts the government will fight hard to keep the men detained. He says had the men been of any other ethnicity they would have been ticket for speeding and continued on.

Andy Savage, Attorney

“The Justice Department now in these types of cases, no matter how minor the charges is to detain them, as long as you can. To keep them under diress. To investigate, investigate, and investigate to find anything you can negative about these fellows. It’s an uphill battle but it is one that can be won.”

Savage says he thinks the government has held the evidence too long, and it’s causing fear in the communities instead of yielding answers.
