Winston was facing the charge by Florida State following a number of instances over the past few years, most notably a sexual assault accusation from an incident back in December of 2012.
“The preponderance of the evidence has not shown that you are responsible for any of the charge violations of the Code,” Major Harding, a former Florida State Supreme Court Chief Justice who oversaw the case, said in a letter to the parties obtained by the Associated Press. “Namely, I find that the evidence before me is insufficient to satisfy the burden of proof.”
