Former International Monetary Fund head Dominique Strauss-Kahn was released today from house arrest, without bail on his own recognizance, after prosecutors raised questions of credibility about the hotel maid who claimed Strauss-Kahn brutally assaulted her. The maid's attorney then accused District Attorney Cyrus Vance, Jr. of ignoring substantial evidence and preparing to drop the case. Michael Rothfeld is covering the case for the Wall Street Journal.
