NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — A Virginia judge has thrown out a murder charge against a man accused of fatally stabbing a man in the back to stop him from suffocating a pregnant woman.
The Daily Press reports that General District Court Judge Robert Saunders in Newport News ruled there wasn't sufficient cause to charge 20-year-old Carlos Rozado, of Hampton, with second-degree murder.
Witnesses said Carlos Fontanez was squeezing the woman during an altercation inside a Denbigh apartment in September.
This was when Rozado, the woman's brother-in-law, grabbed a kitchen knife and stabbed Fontanez six times in the back.
