Murder Charges Dropped
WEST VIRGINIA....
This week, Kanawha County prosecutors dropped murder charges against 64 year old Daniel Eads of South Charleston. Eads was arrested in February 2008 after he admitted he fatally shot Michael John McNamara, who was living in Eads' home at the time. Eads alleged McNamara burst into his and his wife's bedroom and started arguing with them. He says he got his gun, and it accidentally went off when McNamara hit him. Prosecutors say there wasn't enough evidence to convince a jury it wasn't self defense.
