Charges were dismissed Thursday against a northeast Ohio man who served about 20 years in prison for a 1993 killing but maintained his innocence.
A judge ordered a new trial last year for Dewey Jones of Akron after tests showed his DNA didn’t match evidence at the scene.
Prosecutors filed to dismiss the charges, noting that witnesses have died and evidence has degraded.
“We basically looked at the case as it stands today and determined that we didn’t think that we could, for the second time, prove his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt,” said Jill Del Greco, a spokeswoman for the Ohio attorney general’s office.

An Ohio man who was exonerated after spending 13 years in prison for murder cried as a federal jury found that two Cleveland police detectives violated his civil rights by coercing and falsifying testimony and withholding evidence that pointed to his innocence.
The jury’s verdict on Friday, which included awarding $13.2 million to David Ayers of Cleveland for his pain and suffering, brings an end to the legal battle he’s been fighting since his arrest in the 1999 killing of 76-year-old Dorothy Brown.
