KY Man Who Posted Song Lyrics Won't Face Charges

Prosecutors have dismissed a felony charge against a western Kentucky man arrested for posting violent song lyrics to his Facebook page. 

The lyrics James E. Evans posted in August included the words "student bodies lying dead in the halls'' and prompted complaints to school officials in Muhlenberg County.

Evans was charged with terroristic threatening and spent eight days in jail, because he said he could not afford the $1,000 bond. 

The case attracted the attention of the American Civil Liberties Union, which called for his case to be dismissed. His attorney, Bill Sharp with the Kentucky ACLU, said the charge was dismissed on Monday. 

Evans had posted the lyrics from the song "Class Dismissed (A Hate Primer)'' by the California band Exodus.
