I think this is a bummer: the case was dismissed, it seems, because he died. This seems to leave his good name in limbo. I was really hoping to read that the case had been dismissed based on further review of the evidence, was found to be without ground, or whatever legal speak that said the case was invalid, was withdrawn or thrown out, and cleared his name.
Instead we get a the-courts-are-clearing-the-docket dismissal. I understand that, in the view of the courts, this is a routine matter. And that's a bummer.
