The elected district attorney at the time, according to the court records in the case, was Melissa Pelfrey, a fact which we failed to mention due to oversight on our part.
Upon further review of the story after the inquiries began coming in we initially believed a link supplied in the initial story on the dismissal, one which pointed readers to the sentencing of co-defendant Brandon Watson, was sufficient and that the reader would understand Pelfrey, who no longer works in Halifax County, was the prosecutor at the time.
However, that confusion has now expanded beyond the social media realm, and we are offering this clarification to our social media followers and general readership.
It has also been noted in the initial story we posted last week.
