Marty Crandall of The Shins' domestic abuse case has been dismissed.
The case went before the courts in Sacramento yesterday (January 8), but was dismissed due to a lack of evidence.Crandall's ex, and co-defendant Elyse Sewell wrote on her blog:
"The D.A. has rejected the case against me. I am free. I wish the same outcome for Marty and have no intention of pursuing any further legal action. I would not wish entanglement in the widening gyre of the American legal system upon my worst enemy.
"It was incredibly naive of me not to realize that my blog entry about this incident would become tabloid fodder. That was not my intention. I consider the small circle of people who frequent this LJ to be a support group; the much larger world of tabloid readers is certainly not. I will never speak of this again, nor malign Marty in this space. And tomorrow this'll be fishwrap.
"Expect few updates to this journal in the next couple of weeks as I will be untangling the web of seven years of cohabitation with my ex-boyfriend, packing up my shit, and thickening up a plot to travel and work in more temperate climes."
So there you go, they're both free and both no longer together. Time for us to all get back to reading about Britney Spears getting a flat tyre.
