TX: Shooter with .17 Cal Rifle found not Guily in Murder Trial
In this murder trial in Big Spring Texas, Sean Thomas Smith was found not guilty on Thursday, 12 February, 2015. The shooting occurred on October 14th of 2013, involved an altercation where Smith shot 26-year-old Carlos Guerrero once in the chest with a .17 caliber rifle. Smith then left the scene and was later stopped by police. The rifle was in the vehicle.
Smith plead not guilty, by reason of self defense. Details of the events that lead up to the shooting have been hard to come by. From newswest9.com:
BIG SPRING – Not guilty, that was the verdict in the murder trial of Sean Thomas Smith, that ended on Thursday.Smith was accused of killing Carlos Guerrero, nearly a year and a half ago, claiming it was self-defense.
This is the first self defense shooting with a .17 caliber rifle that I recall.
