AC/DC's Phil Rudd still has legal difficulties to resolve, but the most serious charge against the drummer has appaently been dropped.  The decision to withdraw the murder-for-hire allegation against Rudd was made by the Crown solicitor after meeting with Rudd's lawyer.  The attorney later said the police had lodged the charge before consulting with the solicitor, who felt there was insufficient evidence to suppport  the charge.  Rudd still faces charges for possession of marijuana, methamphetamine and issuing a death threat.
