REDDING, Calif. — A case has been dismissed for the second time against a man charged with attempted murder and assault, among others, because of a lack of judges in Shasta County, according to the Shasta County District Attorney's Office.
The case against Brett Epps was terminally dismissed on Tuesday, meaning it cannot be refiled.
The District Attorney's Office says Epps was initially charged with attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, assault by means of force likely, criminal threats, corporal injury to a spouse, child abuse and false imprisonment by violence.
The prosecution had been ready for the trial since March 8 and was on standby for 10 days before the dismissal, according to the district attorney's office. The case was dismissed for the first time on March 25 because it timed out due to the lack of judges and courtrooms available to hear the jury trial.
