<p>All charges against Justin Roiland, co-creator and star of the animated Adult Swim TV series<em> Rick and Morty</em>, have been dismissed by the Orange County District Attorney's Office. Kimberly Edds, spokeswoman for the district attorney's office, told NPR that there was not enough evidence to prove the case 'beyond a reasonable doubt.' Roiland had pleaded not guilty to two felony domestic violence charges in 2020. He was charged in Orange County, California with one count of domestic battery and one count of false imprisonment by menace, violence, fraud and/or deceit. Roiland took to Twitter to celebrate his acquittal, saying that he has always "known that these claims were false — and I never had any doubt that this day would come."</p>
