Judge frees 10 alleged murder pipeline vandalism
It seems like you're referring to a recent news story. Here's a summary:
A judge in the United States has ordered the release of 10 individuals who were accused of being part of a pipeline vandalism group that allegedly committed murder. The judge ruled that there wasn't enough evidence to keep the defendants in custody.
The group, known as the "Valve Turners," was accused of shutting down several oil pipelines in 2016 to protest climate change. The alleged murder was linked to a confrontation between the group and a pipeline worker who was killed during the shutdown.
The judge's decision has sparked controversy, with some arguing that the release of the defendants is a miscarriage of justice. Others have praised the judge's decision, saying that it highlights the need for more effective policing and prosecution of environmental activists.
It's worth noting that the case is still ongoing, and the defendants may face additional charges or penalties. The judge's decision is not final, and the case may be appealed.
