    Ohio Judge Drops Murder Charges Against Brother of Simone Biles

    Simone Biles' brother, Christopher Biles, has been let free on murder charges in an Ohio New Year's Eve party shooting that left three men dead last year. The judge ruled Tuesday that prosecutors failed to present an adequate case to support a conviction.

    Immediately following the ruling, a woman charged at the defendant and screamed, "You killed my baby!".Before the woman could reach Biles, three deputy sheriffs tackled her.

    No witnesses reported seeing Biles-Thomas shoot, and, the defense says, there is no forensic evidence linking Biles-Thomas to the killings.

    During his trial, Biles-Thomas maintained his innocence. He was acquitted following a mistrial last month in which jurors claimed records from a legal case were mistakenly included in evidence presented to them.

    As reported by authorities, gunfire erupted at a party in 2018 after men showed up without invitations. DelVaunte Johnson, 21, Toshaun Banks, 23, and DeVaughn Gibson, 19, died in the shooting.

    Simone Biles said on Twitter that her heart ached for the families of the victims and that she was struggling with her brother's arrest.

    Not enough evidence to be found guilty. Hope if he is guilty, they didn't Blow it by not waiting on enough evidence to convict him. May not get another shot.
