Jahmar Young getting some good news?

It's just prior to the Labor Day weekend and Jahmar Young may look back at this date as one of the best of his life:

LAS CRUCES — Prosecutors have dismissed one charge against a New Mexico State University basketball player and two more may be tossed if a judge decides prosecutors took too long in bringing their case to trial.

State District Judge Doug Driggers gave Jahmar Young's attorney 10 days to come up with case law that supports the defense argument that prosecutors did not bring the case to trial within six months, as required by state law, without obtaining an extension.

Young, 21, faces misdemeanor charges of assault and battery. A third charge of resisting arrest was dismissed by prosecutors earlier this month. He was in the courtroom, but did not speak Friday as his attorney argued for the dismissal of the case.

At issue is when the six-month rule started in the case....

Go here for the remainder.
