DENVER (CBS4) – A judge’s decision is now being awaited in the unusual case of Rene Lima-Marin. Attorneys for the government and Lima-Marin have argued their case in Immigration Court.

Lima-Marin is the Coloradan who was convicted in 2000 of kidnapping, burglary and robbery in the holdup of a video store. He got out of prison 90 years early by mistake, started a new life but then got locked up again years later after authorities realized their error.
