To her credit, District Attorney Kari Brandenburg today dropped all charges against Travis Rowley and Michael Lee in the murders of the Yis. Although the District Attorney dismissed the charges, she did not yet exonerate Lee and Rowley. She acknowledged the lack of physical evidence -- no DNA and no fingerprints --against the two men and also noted that Rowley's defense team presented a "reasonable alibi." She also acknowledged that the authorities have been unable to place Lee and Rowley together with Bloomfield. In February, the DA's office received an expert report (from Dr. Richard Ofshe) which raised questions about the reliability of Rowley's statement. According to Brandenburg, the DA's office has retained an expert of its own to address the statement. The "investigation continues" and charges can be refiled depending upon the results.
