Roiland says he ‘never had any doubt that this day would come’ after authorities say there was ‘insufficient evidence’
Felony domestic violence charges against Rick and Morty creator Justin Roiland have been dismissed,Kimberly Edds, a spokesperson for the Orange County district attorney’s office, confirmed the development in a statement on Wednesday, saying: “We dismissed the charges today as a result of having insufficient evidence to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt.”
Roiland, who also voiced Rick and Morty’s two titular characters before he was dropped by the show’s distributor Adult Swim,“I have always known that these claims were false – and I never had any doubt that this day would come,” he wrote. “I’m thankful that this case has been dismissed but, at the same time, I’m 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 … That it may have succeeded, even partially, is shameful. However, now that the legal case has ended, I’m determined to move forward and focus both on my creative projects and restoring my good name.”
Roiland was charged with and pleaded not guilty to one felony count of domestic battery with corporal injury and one felony count of false imprisonment by menace, violence, fraud and/or deceit in 2020. He attended a pretrial hearing in January and a second pretrial hearing was scheduled for April.

QLD Premier should be ‘commended’ for rental cap proposalQueensland Council of Social Service CEO Professor Aimee McVeigh says Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk should be “commended” for her plan to implement a cap on rental prices. The Premier is showing “leadership” and listening to the many ordinary Queenslanders out there who are “hurting,” Professor McVeigh told Sky News Australia. “The regulations that we would ask for would just set a ceiling to make it really clear how far your rent can be raised and make sure that it can only happen once a year.”
