TX: Felony Murder Trial of Jared Naranjo Dismissed in the Interest of Justice

Online court records show 148th District Court Judge Carlos Valdez dismissed two charges: a first-degree felony murder charge, as well as a third-degree felony of deadly conduct involving a firearm charge.

District Attorney Mark Gonzalez said in a statement to the Caller-Times on Friday that prosecutors asked the judge to thrown out the charges.

"During trial, evidence was discovered that corroborated a self-defense claim. In the interest of justice, based on what was discovered, we felt compelled to dismiss the case," the statement read.
