http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/20...ainst-gilroy-doctor-accused-of-stabbing-wife/Santa Clara County prosecutors have dropped murder charges against a Gilroy doctor accused of hiring a hitman to stab his wife to death after determining the killer acted independently in an attempt to frame the husband.
Charges against 68-year-old German Baldeon were dismissed Tuesday and he was set free. He was arrested in June after his physician wife, 74-year-old Doris Knapp, was found stabbed to death.
I wanted to do this case because it was a Matlock case, said defense attorney Paula Canny. Matlocks clients are always innocent. Dr. Baldeon was innocent. I knew it form the beginning.
