Prosecutors in Virginia dropped a first-degree murder charge against a Texas man Monday.
Leslie Dickerson, 36, was accused of killing his then-wife, 26-year-old Mindy Dickerson, on Jan. 27, 2005, at the couple's home in Pulaski County, Va. His trial was scheduled for Sept. 22.
The Roanoke Times reported that Pulaski County Commonwealth's Attorney Mike Fleenor dropped the charge following a judge's ruling last week that some evidence would be inadmissible.
The murder charge was dropped but not dismissed, which means prosecutors could refile it in the future.
One of Dickerson's lawyers, Jimmy Turk, told the newspaper that he doesn't believe the charge would be refiled.
Dickerson now lives in Texas and has remarried. He was arrested in Montgomery County, Texas, on Jan. 14.
