All criminal charges in a case involving journalists and school board members in a small southeastern Alabama county were dismissed Friday, ending a lengthy case that originally surfaced in October over a dispute about a school superintendent's postion.


The dismissals, granted by Judge Ben Fuller, were requested earlier in the day by Assistant Attorney General Thomas Govan Jr., whose office had taken over the cases after Escambia County District Attorney Steve Bill recused himself from prosecuting it in February.
