There wasn't enough evidence to meet the elements of murder. But the bottom line is, I had a witness who was standing outside the apartment building when the incident occurred trimming some hedges, who owned the condo, who articulated that these four men rushed into the place.

Mane had a right to defend himself. The prosecution couldn't disprove self-defense. The district attorney didn't have a whole lot of choice but to dismiss it.
