Charges Dropped Against Walnut Hill Man Accused Of Pulling Gun On His Wife
August 8, 2018
Charges have been dropped against a Walnut Hill man that was accused of pulling a gun on his wife and threatening to kill her.
Cody Helton Burroughs, 29, was charged in March with felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without the intent to kill. The State Attorney’s Office filed paperwork last week dismissing the charge.
The alleged victim reported that Burroughs pointed a gun at her and threatened to kill her, but prosecutors determined that they could not prove the claim.
“After reviewing all evidence in this case and speaking with all the witnesses, it was determined that the State cannot prove the allegations beyond a reasonable doubt,” Assistant State Attorney Blake Adams wrote.

100% of people who say that 99% of people who are accused of a crime are guilty are easily swayed and extremely judgmental. I live in a world where real charges are sometimes brought on innocent people.
By the way 95% percent of al statistics are made up just to try to prove a point.
99% or the time “cannot prove the case” is due to the victim no longer wanting to proceed. Usually this is due to
the victim realizing that if the man goes to jail, she will lose the income he makes
The victim being in fear of more violence
The victim thinks the suspect is “going to change”
Let’s see if he is re-arrested within a year for domestic violence.
…State cannot prove the allegations beyond a reasonable doubt,”
Maybe the guy is innocent and you cannot prove a crime did not happen?
THANK GOD and move on in the right direction.
Prayers work!! Now get yourself in Church!
