Charges filed against a man from Georgia who threatened singer Elton John were dropped a day before the scheduled trial.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Kimberly Esmond Adams dismissed the charges against Neal Horsley on Monday.

The 65-year-old Horsley was said to have made terroristic threats, criminal defamation and used the internet to disseminate threats.

Prosecutors claim that Horsley posted threats against John on the internet and that he picketed outside John's Atlanta condominium with a sign that said "Elton John Must Die."

John apparently roused Horsley's emotions when he told an interviewer that he believed Jesus was gay.

The judge stated on Monday that Horsley's actions didn't warrant criminal charges.

Horsley is a Carrollton resident who operated a website listing the names of abortion doctors. He was a former gubernatorial candidate and was arrested and charged for threatening John in March.
