The charges should have never been dropped.  If any of us reported a crime that we fabricated ourselves we would be held accountable for filing a false police report.  He should be too.  I don't care if he had friends in the D.A.'s office.  The problem I see now is a "double jeopardy" defense.  It's unfortunate, but I think he won't have any further penalties imposed.  He paid his $10,000 bail money, made his public service announcement, and served his 16 hours of community service.  On top of that his  public court file was sealed.  Unless the police found further evidence that could convict him of more, I don't see him being convicted.
