EUREKA -- The conflict of interest case against Debi August was dismissed Thursday after a judge found grave concerns about violations to her due process rights.
Judge John Feeney dismissed the case with prejudice, meaning the accusation against the Fortuna city councilwoman cannot be brought again.
August broke into tears after Feeney made his ruling, hugging her sister and attorneys before walking away from the courthouse with her arm around Judith Schmidt, forewoman of the grand jury that brought the accusation case against August and the person who ultimately lead to its dismissal by turning over previously unseen documents.
