Charges dropped in fatal Missouri bar shooting   Associated
Press  CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (AP) - A southeast Missouri
prosecutor has dropped murder charges stemming from a bar fight,
saying there isn't enough evidence to take the case to trial.
The Southeast Missourian reports that Cape Girardeau County
prosecutors announced Wednesday they were dropping charges
against Malcolm U. Harris. He was charged with second-degree
murder and armed criminal action following the shooting death of
Nicholas Gilbert at The Spot nightclub in Cape Girardeau in
December.  A preliminary hearing in the case had been scheduled
for Tuesday. Prosecutors say they will refer the case back to
Cape Girardeau police for further investigation.
