New forensic evidence has led to the dismissal of charges against the man accused in the stabbing death of a Yankton man in 2024.
Theodore Kranig, Jr., 19, was charged with Second Degree Murder and Manslaughter in the First Degree in the incident that happened Dec. 13, 2024 at a Yankton residence.
Attorney General, Marty Jackley, says forensic testing of evidence conducted by the Attorney General’s State Forensic Lab in the Yankton stabbing case raises questions as to the defendant’s guilt at this time.
Kranig was released Wednesday from the Yankton County Jail where he was being held.
Jackley says the case remains under investigation.
