"Judge Accuses Don Henley of Manipulation as 'Hotel California' Trial Abruptly Ends"

The trial against three men accused of trying to sell stolen notes linked to the Eagles’ 1976 album "Hotel California" abruptly ended after prosecutors revealed that newly-disclosed evidence from Don Henley cast doubt on whether the notes had been stolen in the first place. The judge criticized Henley and his lawyers for using attorney-client privilege to hide information, and questioned the prosecutors' thoroughness in vetting the accusations and evidence. The charges were dropped, and Henley's attorney expressed disappointment, while the defendants' attorneys welcomed the decision and look forward to moving on.
