The judge in the case dismissed the felony count last month, citing insufficient evidence.
Two other charges, misdemeanor child endangerment counts, were left standing and those charges continue to be prosecuted.
Latrisha Greene was charged in January and later indicted on the evidence tampering count, accused of sending a text message to her husband from the hospital after Charlie was taken to the hospital to “clean up the house if you can.”
Prosecutors contended that amounted to tampering with a crime scene. Latrisha Greene’s attorney Danielle Neroni, however, argued there was insufficient evidence to support the charge.
