Barrett Brown, a journalist, was released from prison on Tuesday morning after serving more than four years behind bars. The Dallas-born journalist was arrested in 2012 from his home while he was in the middle of an online chat after posting tweets and YouTube video threatening revenge against an FBI agent. Brown was convicted in January 2015 under a plea agreement with prosecutors to almost five years in jail and nearly $900,000 in restitution and fines. WikiLeaks published 60,000 emails from private intelligence firm HBGary to celebrate Brown’s release.
