A judge on Thursday dismissed all charges against a former school administrator accused of that a 6-year-old had a gun hours before a teacher was shot.
Acting on a defense motion, Circuit Judge Rebecca Robinson in Newport 91欧美激情, Virginia, issued the ruling on the fourth day of the trial of Ebony Parker, who was charged with eight counts of child neglect.
鈥淭he court is of the legal opinion that this is not a crime,鈥� Robinson said.
The former assistant principal was charged in the January 2023 shooting at Richneck Elementary School in Newport 91欧美激情 that left teacher Abby Zwerner wounded. Prosecutors had said the charges were for each of the bullets in the gun brought into 鈥檚 classroom. Each count could have carried a maximum penalty of five years in prison upon conviction.
