The San Luis Obispo County District Attorney’s Office dropped attempted premeditated murder charges against Rhonda Wisto and Frank York Monday. Wisto and York, the only two defendants in the Dystiny Myers trial who have not reached plea agreements with prosecutors, previously faced a charge of attempting to murder Cody Miller.
Miller, whom co-conspirator Ty Hill raped with a baseball bat prior to the killing of the 15-year-old Myers, pled guilty to first-degree murder in January. Hill did so too the week prior.
Jury selection in the trial of Wisto and York begins Wednesday. Jason Greenwell, the fifth conspirator in the Myers murder, has already agreed to testify against them.
