In little over two weeks, the Benjamin Carter homicide case may be nothing but a fizzle

The murder charge against Benjamin Carter has been dismissed, Carter, via his defense attorney Michael Acosta, has filed a writ in the First Apellate District of California Court of Appeals requesting a stay of the July 6 jury trial.

The Apellate Court has sent out a request for opposition to the Humboldt Superior Court and the District Attorney's office to either file an opposition to the writ or inform the Court that they do not plan to file an opposition by June 15, 2015. Carter, via his attorney has until June 22 to file a reply.

So, in a little over two weeks, Carter's case may be one of those that made splashy headlines but ultimately ended in a fizzle.
