Did the judge throw out the charges against David Montgomery?

An Erie County judge has agreed not to throw out the charges that accuse a suspended Erie schoolteacher of molesting three boys while baby-sitting them. But in his ruling, Judge Shad Connelly expressed doubt that the evidence revealed so far about teacher David Montgomery's alleged assaults on the two youngest boys is sufficient to allow a jury to deliberate it ... At the preliminary hearing, the prosecution presented only the testimony of the oldest of the three boys who accused Montgomery. The 13-year-old said that Montgomery touched him improperly after giving him and two other boys Christmas presents in Montgomery's home in 2010. The boy said he witnessed Montgomery do the same thing to the two other boys, then ages 9 and 6. Connelly agreed after reviewing the testimony that the prosecution had met its burden for the preliminary hearing, where it was required to show that a crime was committed and that Montgomery was likely the person who committed it. In a footnote, however, the judge said the case relating to the two younger victims appears weak. ​
