CANTON Murder charges against a Richville man have been dropped, according to St. Lawrence County District Attorney Gary Pasqua.
John Anson, 30, had been charged with second-degree murder and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon in the May 4 death of Justin Massey, 40.
“At the time on Tuesday evening (May 4), we believed those charges were appropriate based on the information we had. Based on further investigation and a review of physical evidence, it became apparent those charges weren’t appropriate for Mr. Anson any longer,” Pasqua said.
He still faces a second-degree assault felony charge and is released under probationary supervision.
