Rock thrower not charged in death
From Times Wire Reports
No criminal charges will be filed against a man who threw a bowling ball-sized rock over a cliff, hitting and killing another man climbing below, a prosecutor said in Cheyenne.

Newell has refused to identify the man who threw the rock, saying only that he recently returned from military service in Iraq.
