Zack Sharf Digital News Director “Rick and Morty” creator Justin Roiland has been cleared of domestic violence charges, Variety confirms.
Kimberly Edds, spokeswoman for the Orange County District Attorney’s office, said in a statement: “We dismissed the charges today as a result of having insufficient evidence to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt.” Roiland took to social media to respond to the dropped charges, writing in a statement that he is “thankful the case has been dismissed.
He added, “I’m still deeply shaken by the horrible lies that were reported about me during this process.” Roiland appeared in court in January for a pre-trial hearing after he was charged with one felony count of domestic battery with corporal injury and one felony count of false imprisonment by menace, violence, fraud and/or deceit.
He pleaded not guilty to the charges in 2020. A second pre-trial hearing was scheduled for April 27. “I have always known that these claims were false – and I never had any doubt that this day would come,” Roiland said in a new statement. “I’m thankful that this case has been dismissed but, at the same time, I’m still deeply shaken by the horrible lies that were reported about me during this process.
