Finger-pointing over dismissal before workplace shooting
ELKTON, Md. (AP) — Officials are pointing fingers over the 2015 dismissal of charges against a man charged two years later in a fatal workplace shooting.
In 2017, authorities say Radee Prince shot five co-workers at a Maryland granite company, killing three. A trial is pending in that case, but he's been sentenced to 40 years in prison for shooting a man in Delaware the same day.
The News Journal reports the Cecil County Sheriff's Office says it was prepared for a 2015 trial on weapons and traffic charges Prince faced after a traffic stop, but the state's attorney's office dropped them.
At Prince's hearing, prosecutors said they were dropping charges at the request of the deputy who made the arrest.
