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
For nearly six years, they were locked up facing a possible death sentence for a grisly 2001 triple homicide in Ypsilanti Township. On Friday, a federal judge dismissed the charges against Deondre Byrd and three other men after a federal prosecutor said new evidence came to light last Friday that prevented the government from taking the case to trial. It was the second time in three years that Byrd escaped murder charges. He has been imprisoned in recent years for both the triple homicide and the slaying of a 16-year-old girl in Ann Arbor, but he has been convicted on only a federal gun charge. "Obviously, I'm pretty upset that almost 11 years later, we still don't have any answers," said Christy Brown, 30, a close family friend of the victims of the triple homicide. She said she got a call from federal prosecutors Thursday saying the case was being dropped, but they wouldn't elaborate. "I was very surprised. I honestly thought they were making some...
FLINT, MI -- There have been 189 murders in the city since 2010. Below is a map of the locations of each murder in the last three years, as well as the names of the slain on Flint's battlefield. The spike in murders occurred almost immediately after large-scale layoffs in March of 2010. By year's end the city had set a record with 66 murders, breaking the previous mark of 61 set in 1986. Killing continued in 2011 with 57 murders. A look at the map shows the majority of the murders took place on the north and east sides, historically the most economically depressed areas of the city. Just 25 murders in the last three years occurred south of Court Street. The map is color-coded by year. Green markers denote 2012 murders while red markers are from 2011 and blue from 2010. 2012 No. 1: Jan. 11: Kevin Berger, 55, died Jan. 11 after a Jan. 10 double shooting at his home on Keller Avenue near Welch Boulevard around 10:15 pm. Darius McGee, 25, was also critically shot. He survi...
