A judge threw out murder charges Tuesday against a man whose basement marijuana-growing equipment overheated and started a blaze that killed two firefighters.
Judge Teresa Deni said prosecutors had not shown that Daniel Brough, 35, was acting with malice when he set up high-powered lights and fans to help grow the plants.
The judge ordered Brough to face a trial on numerous other charges, including involuntary manslaughter, marijuana possession and causing a catastrophe.
A tangle of wires caught fire in August at Brough’s rowhouse. The firefighters were found unconscious in the basement.
