Murder charges dropped for Louisville man accused of stabbing

Posted: Updated:

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- A Louisville man who waited five years for his murder trial to begin is out of jail.

The murder charges against Carlos Lagantta have been dropped.

In 2007, he was charged with stabbing 44-year-old Tina Tatro to death.

He was also charged with robbery and burglary.

Prosecutors say those charges were also dropped.

Today, he pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of tampering with physical evidence.

He was given credit for the five years already served.
