A Virginia circuit court judge on Thursday dismissed criminal charges against Ebony Parker, a former elementary school assistant principal, in a case connected to a 6-year-old boy who shot his teacher in January 2023.
Prosecutors had alleged Parker ignored warnings that the boy had a gun shortly before the shooting, but her defense argued the allegations were not criminal. Circuit Court Judge Rebecca Robinson agreed with the defense in dismissing the case.
“The court is of the legal opinion that this is not a crime,” she said.
Parker put her head down on the defendant’s table and appeared to be sobbing.
The case was dismissed with prejudice, meaning it cannot be brought to trial again, an official familiar with the ruling said.
