Ronald A. Kozak went home Thursday a free man, as a Schuylkill County jury decided he acted in self-defense when he fatally shot his neighbor in January.
The jury of seven women and five men deliberated less than 1½ hours before finding Kozak, 67, of Shenandoah Heights, not guilty of first- and third-degree murder, voluntary manslaughter, involuntary manslaughter, criminal trespass, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person and two counts of aggravated assault in the death of Joseph Boris.
