Judge dismisses murder charge against Darnell Anding

A judge has dismissed a murder charge against Darnell Anding, 42, in the shooting death of Corey Waters, 52, during a pretrial hearing. The judge ruled that the prosecution's case did not meet the necessary legal standard. Anding's defense argued that he acted in self-defense, claiming Waters had a firearm and had threatened him. The judge allowed a gun possession charge to remain, and Anding is currently held on $50,000 bail. Previously, Anding faced life in prison if convicted of murder. He is scheduled for arraignment next week on the remaining gun charge.
