One day after a jury cleared a Hells Angels member and a club prospect of attempted murder charges, both men have been freed from jail.
But they still face conspiracy charges that could result in life sentences if convicted. Their lawyer Friday lashed out at prosecutors for pursuing those charges, calling the plan "despicable."

One day after the verdict was read, little is known about the jury members involved in the trial. They will remain anonymous because of a new law that went into effect Nov. 1. And while the feud between the Hells Angels and Outlaws probably will continue, it's unlikely to resurface at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally again, law enforcement officers say.
