"As much as I disagree with this verdict — still to this day I believe they were guilty — the jury didn't find them guilty."

Kelly said she will file a motion with 4th District Court to officially close the case.

"It's very very good news," Skordas said of the dropped charges. "Like anyone who's charged with a serious crime, it's a huge anchor that you carry around. You have no idea what the rest of your life is going to be like."

Skordas said Bennett, who is living in Texas, has received some scholarship offers from schools interested in having him play football and is looking forward to continuing his education as well.

"It will be nice to finally know that (Karland) can get on with the rest of his life," he said.
