Pele's son released from jail pending appeal of charges (Reuters)
A Brazilian court has ruled that the son of soccer great Pele must be released from jail and allowed to fight an almost 13-year prison sentence for drug-related charges while free. Edson Cholbi do Nascimento, known as Edinho, turned himself in to police last week to serve a sentence that was reduced from 33 years to 12 years and 10 months. A judge with Brazil's Superior Court of Justice ordered he be freed on Wednesday, although Edinho's lawyer said he would likely be released on Thursday.
