The American contractor who allegedly works for the CIA and was accused of murdering two people in Pakistan, Raymond Davis, was released on Wednesday, according to a legal source.

"It is confirmed that you have already left the country, but many lawyers say he is gone," said the lawyer. The court finally acquitted Davis is the same as hours before the decision was formally indicted by U.S. contractor for double murder. Davis killed, "self-defense" as its argument, two motorists in the eastern city of Lahore on 27th of January, after which he was arrested and imprisoned.
After weeks of legal wrangling over whether or not Davis had diplomatic immunity, a subject to be decided by the same court, the case is resolved by compensating the families of the victims, something that already speculated.
