Burgos Released


Mets relief pitcher, Ambiorix Burgos, was released from a Dominican Republic jail yesterday on $57,000 bond.

Burgos, as you might have read
here, here, here, and here - was supposed to be incarcerated until his trial on abandoning victims, and leaving the scene of an accident. Possible jail time can be up to two years.

The accident occurred on September 30, 2008 in the Dominican Republic

Burgos will have to report every two weeks to a magistrate until a trial date is set.

Burgos is forbidden to leave the Dominican Republic without the permission from an appeals court.
