The criminal trial of a prominent rare books dealer accused of conspiring to possess dozens of pages of handwritten lyrics by the Eagles co-founder Don Henley collapsed abruptly on Wednesday as a judge in Manhattan dismissed the charges in the case, citing concerns about how evidence had been handled.
It was also a form of vindication for the book dealer, Glenn Horowitz, and two other men standing trial along with him. The case centered on some 100 pages of draft lyrics for hit songs by the Eagles including Hotel California, New Kid in Town and Life in the Fast Lane.
