After three trials that ended in setbacks for prosecutors, the Delaware Department of Justice has abandoned its case against the only remaining defendants charged in the 2017 takeover of James T. Vaughn Correctional Center, which left one corrections officer dead and two others seriously injured.

Attorney General Kathy Jennings’ office announced Wednesday afternoon that prosecutors had dropped all charges against Lawrence Michaels and Alejandro Rodriguez-Ortiz, the two inmates left to stand trial for the murder of Lt. Stephen Floyd and other crimes related to the violent ordeal.
