Burglary charges dropped in bizarre Marion County shooting death case
The reason: For strategic legal reasons of her own, Hill no longer wants the burglary case pursued.
Hill, 41, of Silver Springs, is charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of Michael Hofacker, 39. On Nov. 28, authorities say, she shot him on the side of the road after mistaking him for the man accused of burglarizing her home.
Hill has pleaded not guilty and is being held without bail at the Marion County Jail.
According to the State Attorney s Office, Hill s lawyer, Benjamin Buck of Tallahassee, advised her not to talk to prosecutors about that burglary case because that case and the murder case are too intertwined.
