Instead, the case was dismissed against him because of "insufficient admissible evidence to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt," according to Deputy District Attorney Stacey Eads.
The victim and her father made two powerful and emotional statements as is their right under Marcy's law.
The victims said in court, "The worst thing is that I cannot get up in court and tell him." She said she wanted Standridge to know she was not scared.
Standridge's court appointed public defender, Ms. Kelly Neel, at the end, made the statement sayin the case against her client was dismissed and yet he had to sit in court and "have his character assassinated" without a chance to respond.
