A judge has dismissed all charges against twin brothers who were accused of running a dog fighting breeding operation in Chaparral two years ago.
State District Judge Lisa Schultz dropped all 50 charges including dog fighting and animal cruelty against Daron Scott and Duryea Scott of El Paso.
The dismissal came after the state court of appeals upheld an earlier district court ruling that led to the throwing out of all of the case's evidence.
Since the charges were dismissed with prejudice, prosecutors cannot refile the case.
