Delonzo Logwood was the subject of a controversial plea deal rejected at the last minute by the same judge who agreed to dismiss the charges Wednesday morning.
Alameda County (California) District Attorney apparently believes five years in prison is more than enough for a murderer to serve.
Pamela Price announced the move on a video posed to YouTube, blaming Judge Mark McCannon for the "firestorm" that resulted from McCannon refusing to approve a 15-year plea deal for a man accused of three homicides.
Delonzo Logwood, 31, was accused of murdering three people in 2008, when he was 18, and faced a minimum of 75 years to life if convicted as originally charged.
The move comes weeks after a judge expressed deep concern over the plea deal, particularly given the defendant's lack of remorse since the killings.
