They dropped the charge. If he broke the law or it was even questionable there would still be a charge.
No. I think the judge dropped it because he was going to allow the jury to consider lessor charges IF they don't find him guilty OR they find him innocent of the most severe charges against him. Also, each of these is multiple count due to there nbeing three victims, and make no mistake they are victims in these shootings, assaults, and murders.
