Mexican judge finally frees Sgt. Tahmooressi


Lucianne: Thank God, Greta Van Susteren, Andrew's mother Jill and Montel Williams for the return of our Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi

The 25-year-old was arrested March 31 at a Tijuana, Mexico, checkpoint after he said he mistakenly took three guns across the border into Mexico.

Tahmooressi maintained his innocence, saying he had no intention of crossing the border and was originally told he could turn around to return to the United States before he was arrested.

He was on trial for the federal weapons charges, though the attorney general's office agreed to halt its prosecution.

A Mexican federal judge ordered Tahmooressi to be immediately released.
