Yes, the judge found him guilty based on testimony that the prosecutors later determined to be unreliable and refused to use as evidence.
you forgot the witness in the other room that also backed her story... and the prosecutor did NOT find her unreliable, he stated without victims cooperation, he could not prosecute.,
"The state asked for the charges to be dismissed after Holder didn't make herself available for the trial. She was not able to be located in order to serve, court officials said.
District Attorney Andrew Murray told the judge his office went through "great lengths" to track Nicole Holder down. When she didn't show up for court Monday, Murray says it appears she intentionally made herself unavailable to the State.
"Prosecutors last spoke with the victim in October and November 2014," a written statement from the DA's office stated. "During those conversations, the victim expressed that she did not want to participate in another trial. The District Attorney's Office has not been able to reach the victim since November 2014."
He said the state visited her home, employer and even put surveillance on a new home where she was believed to be living. Murray said it would not be just or appropriate to move the case forward without Holder.
"We are committed to stopping domestic violence," Murray said. "But we also want victims to come forward and cooperate."
The State said it had reliable information that Holder reached a settlement before the trial began. The judge granted the prosecutor's request for a dismissal on the assault on a female and communicating threats charges.
