Domestic violence charge dropped against Reuben Foster

A Santa Clara county judge has ruled that there is insufficient evidence for Reuben Foster to proceed to trial on the felony domestic violence charge and the charge of forcefully attempting to prevent a victim from reporting a crime. This news comes a week after a day-long court proceeding in which the accuser recanted her testimony and offered up physical evidence to show she received her injuries prior to her incident with Foster.

The illegal weapon charge has not been dismissed, but has been reduced to a misdemeanor charge. A loaded gun was found on the bathroom floor of Foster’s house after the accuser told police about it.
