sack magistrate ron saines for muslim bias, page-6

The magistrate didn't dismiss the charges, the police withdrew them.

The police withdrew the charges after the magistrate's hearing. It seems to me there was deemed (ultimately by the police...they had the right to proceed) that there was insufficient evidence the man was abducting the child.
