Could it have at all been possible that he was acting in self defense? Or that, at the very least, it wasn't 2nd degree murder? The jury thought so. I'm of the opinion that they know more than us so I'd stand by their decision.
Acquittal just isn't the same as innocent. Experts studying the case are saying there didn't seem like enough evidence to convict the man.
Go Hokies!
