One defendant, however, still faces vehicular manslaughter and hit-and-run
Murder charges were dismissed against a husband and wife in connection with the death of a woman who fell and sustained fatal injuries while trying to hold onto the hood of a moving van in the Mountain View neighborhood.
“Ever since this all started it’s been like something out of a movie,” said a relieved and happy Skellion three days after the murder charge against him was dropped. “I was pretty flabbergasted." A married couple in their 20's are accused of causing the death of their former landlord in mountain view. During an argument, detectives say they drove off with the woman hanging to the hood of their car after some kind of confrontation. The husband, Cory Skellion was supposed to face a judge today for his alleged part behind the wheel, but that has been put on hold. NBC 7’s reporter Jackie Crea has more.
Defense attorneys for both defendants say Skellion pulled over at one point and parked the van. Cell phone video taken by the couple shows Wuerth did not get off the hood even though the van was stopped for 92 seconds. On the video, Wuerth yells for someone to call 911, but she never tried to get off the vehicle.
