From Times Wire Reports
No criminal charges will be filed against a man who threw a bowling ball-sized rock over a cliff, hitting and killing another man climbing below, a prosecutor said in Cheyenne.
Fremont County Atty. Ed L. Newell II said a number of factors went into his decision not to file criminal charges, including the fact that drugs and alcohol were not involved.
Newell has refused to identify the man who threw the rock, saying only that he recently returned from military service in Iraq.
