Rosa Chatman, 56, was found dead in her College Hill Courts apartment.The charges against the man accused of killing a woman in College Hill Courts were dropped today in Hamilton County Sessions Court, according to court records.
Bruce Stevenson, 58, was charged with criminal homicide and aggravated assault in the April death of Rosa Chatman, 56. Police said the pair had been in an on-again, off-again relationship for around 20 years.
Both charges were dropped in court today because of a lack of evidence, assistant district attorney Lance Pope said. Pope told Judge Lila Statom that Stevenson’s arrest was based on circumstantial evidence that has not “developed favorably for the state” in the three weeks since the arrest.
Pope said Stevenson could be re-charged with the crime in the future.
