Kanawha County Prosecutors Drop Murder Charge
WEST VIRGINIA....
Kanawha County prosecutors have dropped a murder charge against Timothy Burdette, and he is now charged with third offense domestic battery and robbery. Burdette allegedly punched his pregnant girlfriend, Nastacha Caudill, in the stomach when she refused to give him money for drugs, and Caudill lost the baby days later. Assistant Prosecutor Dan Holstein says a medical examiner could not establish a relationship between the punch and the fetus' death.
