     From NY Times:


            A federal judge allowed prosecutors to dismiss charges of capital 
murder against a man whom they had accused of killing two hikers in 1996 in 
Shenandoah National Park. In papers filed this month, prosecutors said DNA 
evidence found at the scene matched neither the victims nor the defendant, Darrel 
Rice. The judge, Norman K. Moon, denied a request from defense lawyers to bar 
further charges against Mr. Rice.
