The criminal case that put 'Rick and Morty' co-creator Justin Roiland out of work has just been closed.

The domestic violence case against Roiland was dismissed Wednesday morning in Orange County. A spokesperson for the district attorney tells us it was dismissed because there was insufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt.

Justin says: "I always knew these claims were false - and I never doubted that day would come. I am grateful that this case was closed but, at the same time, I am still deeply shaken by the horrific lies that have been told about me during this process."

He continues, "Above all, I'm disappointed that so many people have been so quick to judge without knowing the facts, based solely on the word of an embittered ex trying to circumvent due process and have me "cancelled". That he was able to succeed, even partially, is shameful. However, now that the court case is over, I am determined to move forward and focus on both my creative projects and on restoring my reputation."

Roiland's attorney, T. Edward Welbourn, told TMZ... "I commend the Orange County District Attorney's Office for conducting a thorough review of the facts and deciding to dismiss the case against Justin. I am grateful that justice prevailed."< /p>
