A North Dakota prosecutor’s controversial case against journalist Amy Goodman is over.

On Friday, North Dakota prosecutor Ladd Erickson drew national criticism from press freedom groups when he filed charges claiming that Goodman had participated in a riot when she filmed Native Americans protestors clashing with police and guards in September. The Native Americans were protesting the beginning of construction work on the Dakota Access Pipeline.

District Judge John Grinsteiner dismissed Erickson’s charges against Goodman. The charges Erickson brought Friday were a substitute for his earlier criminal trespassing charge against Goodman, which he withdrew.
