(CBS News) ISLAMABAD – A teenaged Christian girl arrested in Pakistan on a controversial charge of blasphemy was ordered released on bail by a judge Friday, but there are concerns that her life may still be in danger even after seemingly dodging the allegation – which could technically have brought the death penalty. Judge Azam Khan ordered her release on about $10,000 bail after hearing competing arguments from the defense and prosecution lawyers. CBS News is withholding her identity as she is a minor.  “Our position has been vindicated. My client is now free on bail,” Tahir Chaudhary, the girl’s lawyer told CBS News. The rare legal victory for an individual targeted with Pakistan’s harsh blasphemy laws followed a tumultuous three weeks for the teenager who, according to a medical report, is 14 years old, but not intellectually developed to a level typical of her age. Chaudhary told CBS News his client suffers from “mental ailments that have hindered her mental development,” without specifying her condition. She was arrested after someone from her low-income neighborhood in Islamabad’s suburbs complained of seeing her carrying burned pages of the Koran – the Islamic holy book. Desecration of the Koran is considered blasphemy in Pakistan – an offense which can bring the death penalty, though it has never been meted out in court.

Actor Bryan Cranston has won three Emmy Awards for his portrayal of lead character Walter White, who uses his chemistry knowledge to become a drug kingpin after receiving a cancer diagnosis. “This is a great gift to me and my wonderful writers,” said Vince Gilligan, series creator. “It’s knowledge which will allow us to build our story to a satisfying conclusion.
