The previous discussion on HN highlighted Mens rea with regards to establishing intent, i.e. they didn't have criminal intent (they went in with the understanding that they had full rights and privileges to be there) and would probably (hopefully) be vindicated in a court of law. There is still a matter of CoalFire vs State / Local govt, where CoalFire might be liable for not confirming that they had the proper authorization to dispatch their testers (which is part of the state vs local issue that's ongoing).

IANAL but I've been tracking this pretty closely since I'm also a pentester; everything seems to reasonably indicate that the two guys should be released, but someone else is likely ending up in a court over this.
