Charges dropped in accidental shooting case

A Mountain Home woman will not stand trial for her role in the accidental shooting of a local youth earlier this year.

A motion submitted by the Elmore County Prosecutor's Office on June 23 recommended dismissing the felony charge against Molly Harman.

In mid-March, the county prosecutor charged Harman with one count of felony injury to children after her five-year-old son wounded Leonard Partinda on Feb. 3. Earlier this month, a grand jury hearing did not return an indictment in the case, prompting the prosecutor's office to recommend dismissing the case.
