The Hillsborough County State Attorney's office has decided not to file charges against a Marine reservist accused of attacking an Greek Orthodox priest.

The State Attorney's Office put out the following statement:

"After considering the law, the evidence and the information, and arguments provided by defense counsel, it is evident that we cannot prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr. Bruce committed a crime and acted without legal justification."

    Rather tough call & not too sure what to think about this one. What I am sure of is that there has t/b plenty of doubt if justice was served correctly.
