Charges against a Mobile mother accused in the deaths of her two young sons have been dropped.
Judge Robert Smith dismissed the manslaughter charges against Joy Watkins, 24, after he said the state did not produce enough evidence.
The judge told prosecutors they could move forward with a misdeamor charge of criminally negligent homicide, but the District Attorney's office decided against it.
Watkins five and six year old sons died in a Motel fire in February 2007. The boys were left alone while their mother worked an overnight shift at a nearby fast food restaraunt.
