Judge dismisses charges against owner of Rottweiler killed by Hawthorne police

A Los Angeles County judge has dismissed all remaining charges against the owner of a Rottweiler whose dog was shot and killed by Hawthorne police, an incident that was recorded by cameras and went viral, sparking a national debate about excessive force and animal cruelty.

Superior Court Judge Lauren Weis Birnstein dismissed Tuesday the two misdemeanor counts of resisting and obstructing police filed against Leon Cordell Rosby, according to his defense attorney Mark Geragos.

After a two-week trial that ended in March, jurors acquitted Rosby, 53, of a felony count of dissuading a witness but deadlocked over the two misdemeanors, with four jurors favoring guilt.
