Prosecutors also dropped all but one charge.
That's terrible. I mean, it's good they were dropped, but having him in jail for so long and then dropping all charges is absurd.
What's left is still serious, but it appears to be playing out the terrible way it looked. Sams' attorney has motions on file to force the prosecutors to turn over whatever evidence they have (no idea why that didn't happen sooner), and I think the prelim hearing is on that 12/14 date (that they wanted to keep Sams in jail all the way through). From what I have access to, I don't even see that the actual home invaders are charged yet. Sure gives the appearance that they don't have a good enough case vs. the invaders, and were hoping Sams would make the case for them. It seems possible he can't, without making up a story they want to hear.
