Good grief! First, the defendant's attorney was able to whittle the charges down to just one claim of Seaman's manslaughter" (there is so much wrong with that I don't even have time to go into it) then that charge is dismissed because it wasn't plead correctly. The US Attorney is asking permission to appeal. It is probably too late to dismiss and refile now. This sounds like poor prosecution.
