The Michigan Court of Appeals has freed Ambassador Bridge owner Matty Moroun and his top aide, Dan Stamper from the Wayne County jail.
Thursday morning, Wayne County Judge Prentis Edwards sent Moroun and Stamper to jail for civil contempt of court.
That night, the Court of Appeals denied Moroun and Stamper’s emergency motions to get out of jail.
But their lawyers tweaked their argument today, and again asked that the two be freed while their clients’ appeal is pending. The court has now agreed to that.
The Court has also agreed to expedite the appeals process. It will hear oral arguments in the case February 2.
