Newsman Bridge Freed From Essex Jail After Contempt Case
Newark AP report says 36 year old Bridge left Essex County Jail in good spirits after being released unconditionally by Judge James R Gill. He challenged a grand jury probe over a Newark Housing Authority bribery story saying questions exceeded the article’s scope and violated press freedom. He planned to spend time with his children and seek work as Rep John Moss called the detention an outrage and urged action to curb harassment.
