Manslaughter Charges Dropped Against Man Accused Of Accidentally Shooting Brother
(KUTV) Manslaughter charges have been dropped against the Utah man accused of accidentally shooting his brother at Yuba Lake.
Police say Eric Charlton was showing his brother and friend firearms techniques when the gun discharged hitting his brother Cameron in the head.
After reviewing evidence during a preliminary hearing two days ago, a judge decided the case would not go to trial.
"There's a huge sense of relief and they're going to be suffering from the loss of Cameron for a long time," said Charlton's attorney Suzanne Guston. "They didn't want to lose another son in this case."
Eric's attorney said the judge dropped the homicide charge because he wasn't aware of the risk of death.
She said the family is relieved and said they did not want to lose another son in the case.

He was convicted of murder, replaced with homicide on appeal. This is the story of what happened. In 1999, Martin was alone at his farmhouse in Emneth Hungate, Norfolk, nicknamed Bleak House. He had been burgled a total of ten times, losing £6000 worth of furniture. Martin also complained about police inaction over the burglaries. The police reports state that multiple items and furniture were stolen such as dinnerware and a grandfather clock. On the night of 20 August 1999, two burglars -- Brendon Fearon, 29, and Fred Barras 16 -- broke into Martin's house. When confronted, they attempted to flee through a window. Shooting downwards in the dark, with a pump-action Winchester shotgun he owned illegally, Fearon was hit in the leg, and Barras in the back. Barras escaped through the window but died at the scene. On 10 January 2000, Fearon and Darren Bark, 33 (who had acted as the getaway driver), both from Newark-on-Trent, Nottinghamshire, admitted to conspiring to burgle Martin's farmhouse. Fearon was sentenced to three years in prison, and Bark to 30 months. Fearon was released on 10 August 2001. Fred Barras, the dead youth, had accumulated a lengthy criminal record, having been arrested 29 times by the time of his death at the age of 16, and ...Video Rating: 5 / 5
EVERETT -- Police on Wednesday were canvassing the View Ridge-Madison neighborhood in Everett after a man was found dead there the night before. A neighbor spotted the man on the ground outside a vacant house at 22 Madison St. He called 911 about 6:20 p.m. The man had obvious signs of trauma to his torso, police said. He looked to be in his late 20s or early 30s. The Everett Major Crimes Unit is investigating the death as a homicide, Lt. Robert Goetz said. Detectives declined to say more about how they believe the man may have died. There are no identified suspects or motives. Detectives received a search warrant around 11:45 p.m. Tuesday and collected evidence at the scene. They returned Wednesday afternoon to look for clues in the daylight, Goetz said. The victim's identity had not been determined as of late Wednesday afternoon. The body was turned over to the Snohomish County Medical Examiner's Office. Anyone with information is asked to call 425-257-8450. Rikki King: 425-
Published: Thursday, August 23, 2012, 5:55 p.m. MONROE -- Detectives believe a 7-year-old Monroe boy's parents should face second-degree manslaughter charges in connection with his January overdose death. Monroe police this week wrapped up their probe into the boy's Jan. 30 death and forwarded the case to prosecutors to decide if his parents should face criminal charges. Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Lisa Paul likely will begin reviewing the case in the coming days. She doesn't expect to make a charging decision in the near future, however. "It's quite an extensive investigation, and I want to review it thoroughly before I make any decision," she said. The boy, identified as "A.J." in court papers, ingested a lethal amount of salicylates, a chemical common in aspirin and other over-the-counter drugs. The medical examiner declined to conduct an autopsy on the boy, making it difficult to determine how the drug ended up in the boy's system. A
