US missionaries should be freed, rules Haitian judge

The Haitian judge deciding whether 10 US missionaries should face trial on charges of trying to take a busload of children out of the country says he will recommend that they are released.

Judge Bernard Saint-Vil finished questioning the Americans on Wednesday. He must now send his recommendation to the prosecutor, who may agree or object, but the judge has the final authority to decide whether they stay in custody or go free.
