Case dismissed! Man leaves courtroom smiling after he dodges felony assault charge

I know his name and his defense attorney's name but it is the facts that are more germane here.

A man scheduled to have a preliminary hearing for a felony, assault, instead heard the Deputy DA tell the Judge the People's decision. The Judge then said the lucky two words: Case dismissed!

According to the defense attorney, the alleged victim, the guy's brother did not want to press charges. On the night of the alleged matter, the guy was sleeping. His brother burst into his home and demanded sunglasses. The guy refused. The brother who may have been intoxicated, threatened to burn the house down, so the guy went and got a rifle and made the brother leave. The alleged victim told Hoopa police that he was being shot at, despite both stories, the guy defending his wife and child and property was arrested and charged.

Ergo case dismissed.

Another case I heard about from a source close to the alleged defendant was that a guy working for one of the local tree companies was arrested for arson. Witnesses said he was at the scene of the alleged crime. He spent six weeks in jail. The case was dismissed after it was discovered he was at the casino at the time the alleged crime occurred.
