Woman cleared in shooting of husband
The Cleveland County district attorney on Thursday dismissed a murder charge against a woman accused of fatally shooting her husband.
Tina Weaver acted in self-defense when she shot Ronald Todd Weaver, 41, at their Kings Mountain home on Nov. 25, court documents said.
"The dismissal completely exonerates my client from any criminal wrongdoing," said Weaver's attorney, David Teddy.
There was a history of domestic violence between the couple, court documents said, and Weaver's husband had severely beaten her just before the shooting.
Weaver, 40, has been out on $40,000 bond since November.
Weaver, a mother of three, is relieved that the charge has been dropped, Teddy said.
"This has been a heavy burden she's been carrying since November," Teddy said.
