A judge in Detroit dismissed a remaining murder charge against a man accused of killing a synagogue leader, citing constitutional concerns of double jeopardy. The accused, who had been acquitted of a similar charge three weeks prior, expressed his innocence in the fatal stabbing of Samantha Woll.
Woll, 40, was found dead outside her Detroit home last October, sparking speculation about a possible antisemitic motive, although police found no evidence to support this theory. The accused was acquitted of first-degree premeditated murder but faced a hung jury on a felony murder charge related to a home invasion.
