Judge dismisses 30 year-old Mountain View murder case due to double jeopardy
John Kevin Woodward was charged with murder for the third time last year after new evidence was discovered in the 1992 killing of Laurie Houts. Woodward, a 59-year-old tech executive, is accused of killing 25-year-old Houts in Mountain View back in 1992 after she left work at Adobe Systems. However, a judge says she?s dismissing the case, citing double jeopardy, which has left the Houts family in disbelief.
