    Rene Lima-Marin, whose bizarre odyssey through the legal system had been hung up in immigration court since last fall, walked free Monday afternoon from an Aurora detention facility after winning his case before the board of immigration appeals. The decision gave Lima-Marin his first moments of freedom since he was returned to prison nearly four years ago, when his earlier mistaken release from a robbery sentence launched him on an opportunity for a new life.
