PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) – A judge on Monday refused to dismiss any of the manslaughter counts against the three men charged criminally in a 2003 nightclub fire that killed 100 people.

The decision by Superior Court Judge Francis J. Darigan Jr. means that the case against nightclub owners Jeffrey and Michael Derderian and former Great White tour manager Daniel Biechele can proceed.

The Feb. 20, 2003, fire inside The Station nightclub in West Warwick spread when pyrotechnics by the rock band Great White ignited flammable soundproofing foam around the stage.

The Derderians and Biechele each face 200 counts of involuntary manslaughter. All three men have pleaded innocent.
