Los Angeles, California - Justin Roiland's legal case for domestic violence and false imprisonment charges, which saw the Rick and Morty co-creator fired from his show, have been dismissed.

The adult animated sci-fi sitcom Rick and Morty has been praised by fans and critics alike for its dark, satirical humor and dense plots.

Justin Roiland (43) and Dan Harmon (50) are the brains behind the show, and Roiland also lends his voice acting skills to the two main characters, Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith.

But Roiland was axed from the show in January as Adult Swim cut ties in advance of his trial over felony charges from a 2020 domestic dispute. Season 7 of Rick and Morty was still planned to continue despite the firing.

Now, Kimberly Edds, spokesperson for the Orange County District Attorney's Office, has said in a statement, according to Variety: "We dismissed the charges today as a result of having insufficient evidence to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt."

Roiland had pleaded not guilty to the charges back in 2020.

On Twitter, Roiland wrote that he was "thankful that this case has been dismissed," but that he was still "deeply shaken by the horrible lies that were reported about me during this process."

"Most of all, I'm disappointed that so many people were so quick to judge without knowing the facts, based solely on the word of an embittered ex trying to bypass due process and have me 'canceled,'" he continued.

Now, the animator says he is concentrating on his "creative projects" and "restoring my good name." Whether he will return to Rick and Morty is yet to be seen.
